Do you see any mention of g++ in the old environment's dsenv file? See what variable its path is assigned to. Set that variable with the new environment compiler's path.

Now the OP cannot delete the post can he? If you reply to a post, the OP cannot delete it anymore. Only the moderator can do it from there on.
