Hi ,
generally g++ distribution comes under /usr/bin, you should find where is g++ installed on your system and export that path to your PATH environment variable.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks,
Deepti

Ubuntu? Compiler problems?
sudo apt-get install build-essentials

thanks ,could u tell me nore detail about installing build-essentials??

Er.. Details? It was command-line to install. By default Ubuntu and clones do not install anything related to compilation. So you need to install it. There is meta-package build-essentials with no files, but lots of dependencies. Its installation makes Ubuntu install everything needed for compilation of standard C/C++ programs.
