So I install g++-4.0

Still no g++.

But I discover there *is* a

 rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 106536 2006-04-20 16:49 /usr/bin/g++-4.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      7 2006-09-23 21:57 
/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-g++-4.0 -> g++-4.0

It looks as if the short name 'g++' is not defined.  I wonder why.
But g++-4.0 definitely works:

address@hidden:~/install/monotone-0.30$ g++-4.0 --version
