In follow up, >From a Mac (also Mojave) where g++ works, g++ -v returns: $ g++ -v Configured with: --prefix=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX10.14.sdk/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.10.44.2) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.0.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin On mine (which fails), I get: $ g++ -v Configured with: --prefix=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1 Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 (clang-1000.11.45.2) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin18.0.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin Does anyone perhaps have an understanding of what it takes to reset my installation to have the proper default directories?
