Also look into the `rpmdrake` (graphical, requires root) and `urpmq` (CLI, 
does not require root) tools on a Mandrake box.

For those with a working box, `rpm -qf /path/to/filename` will report which 
package that file belongs to.  In this case, I run Mandrake 8.2 and my cpp 
came with the package gcc-cpp-2.96-0.76mdk.  The easiest manner of 
installing is `urpmi gcc-cpp` at the command prompt (or, again, use 
`rpmdrake`).

Good luck!
