Installing dealii-8.2.1 in Linux Mint 17.1

I am trying to install dealii-8.2.1 software in Linux Mint using the Virtual Box in a 32-bit windows desktop. But I am getting the error message regarding the CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER. How to get rid of it? Please follow the error message that appears during installation through terminal window.

Code:

-- This is CMake 2.8.12.2

You aren't, by any chance, trying to compile this lib outside of the build directory, are you? If you try to "make" outside the build directory "make install <switches/options> /path/to/build_directory" you anger the compiler gods, and they are a venal bunch.

The reason I'm asking is the only time I can remember seeing this error...

I was engaged in such foolishness.

BTW, did you look in " /home/hasib/Downloads/dealii-8.2.1/build/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log" to see what make was whining about when it died?

"deal.II" : Latest is https://github.com/dealii/dealii
There may be some updates for version `~8.2.1' ...
$ git clone https://github.com/dealii/dealii

Your issues : Seems to be an incomplete install of "gcc-4.8".
Please do : $ sudo apt-get install g++
