Why not use GCC (GNU Compiler Collection), specifically `g++` which is the component used for compiling C++ programs? This would be the default, and most common choice, on Linux. Unless I'm mistaken, GCC and g++ should already be installed. Try in a console:
Code:
which g++
to see if it is already there.

Oddly enough g++ does not ship with Ubuntu (but gcc does).

Run this command in your terminal:

Code:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
The build-essential package contains g++ among other utilities for creating .deb packages.

@ eveningsky,

thanks, I did not know that - and yes, it is rather odd. :)
