Today installed CentOs 6.4 fresh new on my workstation.
I wanted to install g++. With my surprise I didn't succeed by using
yum install gcc-g++ The thing is that even by doing a search I don't get any result.
# No package available yum search g++ On top of that I installed successfully gcc.
Do you know whether I am using the wrong package name or what should I do?

Have you tried:
yum install gcc-c++
I was successful with on CentOS 6.4
yum install gcc-c++.x86_64 I ran into this post because installing node with regular gcc-c++ it will complain;
but to workaround the issue you can install gcc-g++ from Linuxsoft: Software Repository
curl > /etc/yum.repos.d/slc6-scl.repo rpm --import yum install -y devtoolset-3 scl enable devtoolset-3 bash and node will be happy !
One thing I have realized is that many packages give that error because package names are usually different than most tutorials out there on the net.
Normally when I get stuck I just use this command:
yum list | grep <packagename> This gets a list of all packages like the one we are searching for and it always lists the full name which we should use to install the package.
Also the <packagename> is case-sensitive, geoip and GeoIP will return different list of packages.
