It does, but the C++ support in gcc is a separate package.
You want the cpp and gcc-c++ packages with version numbers
corresponding to the version of gcc you have.
E.g. on my system (RH 7) right now, I have:
gcc-2.96-69
gcc-c++-2.96-69
cpp-2.96-69
That cpp package may be a Redhat-specific thing; if your distribution
doesn't have it, you're probably okay with just gcc-c++. The cpp
RPM installs
/lib/cpp
/usr/bin/cpp
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/cpp0
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/tradcpp0
plus some documentation. gcc-c++ is the RPM that installs g++.
