I wasn't sure what you meant, so I tried these:
[apt-get install gcc-g++]
apt-get [install gcc-g++]
apt-get install gcc-g[++]

No luck with those.

No joy.  I had already tried a few variations of this with no luck.

No, nothing odd.  I checked my processes and it's bash.

bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.1.17(1)-release (i586-mandriva-linux-gnu)

I could compare this to a previous installation where ++ did work for
me.  Maybe it's a bash issue and a version change could help me learn
more?
