gcc is the C compiler,
gcc-c++ is the C++ compiler

Yes, this should be what you want, but try pulling in some commonly
needed development tools and prerequisites with this command:

yum install build-essentials

When you build, and find it can't find certain libraries etc.., it
probably means you need to install the "-dev" or "-devel" versions of
those library packages.

PS..

gcc-gfortran is the Fortran compiler
gcc-gnat is the Ada compiler
gcc-java is the Java compiler
gcc-objc is the Objective C compiler
gcc-objc++ is the Objective C++ compiler

None of those languages are used in the gEDA suite (as far as I know).

Best wishes,
