To install g++ (the c++ command line compiler), just open a terminal with ctrl+alt and type:
sudo apt-get install g++

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Will install some library files too. A full coding environment. Dead handy

I would definately go with

sudo apt-get install build-essential

You get g++ and plus a lot of other things you will need.

You don't get an IDE however but there are plenty to choose from in software centre.
My personal choice is eclipse, but the choice is yours. You can even work without an IDE if you want.

Can you help with this problem?
