Have you tried installing via yum?
First see what is already installed
yum list gcc*
then just yum the package that is missing or try
yum install gcc*
That may install other things such as dependencies so just check the list before you press Y.

Thanks for the reply. I tried yum already (this turned up very often when I searched other forums). Here's the result:
-bash: yum: command not found
So, sadly, it looks like yum isn't available.

That makes it a bit more tricky. You could either install yum from rpm and then use yum to install gcc-? or go back to installing gcc-? from source.
I notice you are using redhat 4.1. That could be a bit tricky. Are you sure the version you downloaded was compatible with the linux install?
The error message you state seems pretty common according to google.
Would need to see the full list of errors before the configure: error to see what is breaking it.

Thanks again for your help.
I just tried to install yum. Python is version 2.2.3, so that means we need yum version 2.0.X. I followed the instructions here:
< forum link removed >[/1
Everything went fine until executing make, which produced a bunch of errors:
[root@#*$!X yum-2.0.7]# make

make -C $subdir ; \

Are you sure the version you downloaded was compatible with the linux install?

No, I'm not sure, nor do I know how to find out what the correct version of g++ would be for my linux install. Do you know how I can find out what the right version is?
Would need to see the full list of errors before the configure: error to see what is breaking it.

There aren't any errors that I know of before the configure. Here's what I did to attempt to install gcc-g++:
[root@#*$!X root]# ls
gcc-4.4.4 gcc-g++-4.4.tar.gz yum
[root@#*$!X root]# cd gcc-4.4.4
[root@#*$!X gcc-4.4.4]# ls
gcc libstdc++-v3
[root@#*$!X gcc-4.4.4]# cd libstdc++-v3/
[root@#*$!X libstdc++-v3]# ls

Also, note that when I browse to the gcc directory, there isn't a configure file:
[root@#*$!X root]# ls
gcc-4.4.4 gcc-g++-4.4.tar.gz yum
[root@#*$!X root]# cd gcc-4.4.4/

frank's suggest was to install yum from an rpm, like this:
[phy.duke.edu ]
Is there any reason you cannot install from RPM?
There are lots of instructions on the web for doing this, but you will have to search a bit for current download sites for yum 2.0 and instructions in initial configuration.

Got g++ working!
I found the appropriate version of gcc-c++ for my system: 3.3.2. I then found the rpm and got it installed.
Thanks for your help! Sorry for all the dumb questions -- I'm a Linux Newbie, so I didn't know anything about rpms.

Glad you got it working.
As you are a newbie, one more piece of advice: one of the best things about Linux are the package managers like yum, urpmi, apt-get etc. Use one, it makes installing software very, very easy, and it automated updates.
It might be a bit late to install it on what I assume is an old RH install, but next time either install a distro that comes with a package manager (most of them) or install one first thing.
This might not be a good idea on a really mission critical system as you may want to have perfect control of every change (which, I assume, is why RH does not have yum installed by default), but for your average web server the risk of a problem is low enough to be acceptable.
