GsTsExternalSession relies on cpp; need to have gcc/g++ installed

GsTsExternalSessions computes the FFI calls for the GciTsLibrary on demand, using cpp to parse gcits.hf. This required cpp, and the gcc/g++ compilation environment; if this is not installed, it reports an error such as:
      /usr/bin/cpp not found,  package cpp must be installed on host running the gem or topaz -l process

This requirement applies when using GsTsExternalSessions in production environments, as well as development.

Workaround

Install cpp/gcc/g++
