[Newbie] OpenGL / g++

I'd like to use C++ together with OpenGL. First of all I tried to compile a simple c-program using g++, but a linker-error occurs (ld: cannot open crtbegin.o: file not found). It works with gcc. Can anybody help?

Perhaps have you not installed the necessary rpms? You can check with
rpm -q egcs-c++

Sounds like you have a seriously messed up installation.

Verify that gcc and g++ were installed correctly.
