Also had this error. Problem is g++/gcc (MinGW/bin) is not in the search path. To correct do the following:

  • Install MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/) if not installed yet.
  • Add path to MinGW/bin (c:\MinGW\bin by default) to PATH environment variable.

This solved an error in my case.

Also make sure you're not using the restart command from eclipse. You'll need to shutdown Eclipse completely and then start it again for the change to take effect.
