You may have to enable extra repositories first, but then you can do this.

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc

or

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install g++

I would highly advise, in general, though, for software installation that you use Synaptic Package Manager. It's in System > Administration.

As aysiu recommended, use Synaptic. It makes sure that any dependencies are fulfilled.

Actually the reason I recommended Synaptic is that it's easier to browse (you can do it by category or by search). Synaptic, after all, is just the graphical version of apt-get. Installing gcc via Synaptic is the same as installing gcc via sudo apt-get install gcc. Both Synaptic and apt-get will resolve dependencies because they're the same function (with two different faces).

Ah. I stand corrected. Forgive me, as I'm about a newb 1.5 in Linux right now. ;-)

hi, VM Box is an OS virtualisation software. I have installed it as in office I don't have access to move out of windows.
I have Win XP as the host system and Ubuntu as guest OS.
Although the functionality provided by VM Box is good enough, I'm not able to install the G++ compiler.
I've tried installing from the command line but its of no use

Anyone with prior experience in VM box and programming in Ubuntu G++, please get back to me asap.
