The easiest way would be to install g++ using your package manager. What distro are you using?

For Fedora I think

Quote:
yum install gcc-c++
should do it.

you might miss one or more of the other tools that you'll want
to have. You could go for broke and just do:

Quote:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
that will install everything you'd need (only do that if you have a
fast net connection)

There's a book named "UNIX concepts and Applications" by Sumitabha Das.Try it won't regret getting a copy.
Best book that have come across for beginners, and obviously there is Google and awesome man documentaion in Linux.

Hope it helps !!
