problem using the g++ compiler when writing code in c++

klodi-alb · 04-13-2013, 01:30 PM

hello!

I've written a simple c++ code in linux text editor ,saved it properly, but when i write the command to compile it " g++ <example> <example>.cxx " i get this message:

the program 'g++' can be found in the following packages:
g++
pentium builder

when i try the command " sudo apt-get install g++ " it gives me a big list with
'already in use ' and 0 updates , 0 newly installed etc
I would appreciate your help since this is my first post.

# 4 .

OK, probably unsupported ? Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 ?
10.04 : Please replace the text in /etc/apt/sources.list with :

Code:

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-backports main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-backports multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-security multiverse universe

And run $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential

10.10 :

Code:

deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted
