Re: C++ compiler

Install the package build-essential. That should get you going for your most basic (and I do mean most basic) compiling needs.

Re: C++ compiler

You would use a package manager (a software installer more or less)
Adapt package manager is the one in Kubuntu:

Once you get used to the *buntu way of installing software, you may wish to try text-based package management:

Re: C++ compiler

Adept shows gcc base 3.0,4.o...r installed on my computer.
But bash says:

bash:g++: command not found?
what to do?

Re: C++ compiler

did you install the package build-essential? it will provide all the basic tools you need to get started

Re: C++ compiler

As mentioned earlier Adept shows gcc +... are already installed event then unable compile my c & c++ prog.

Re: C++ compiler

As jucato and I mentioned earlier, need to install the package build-essential as you don't have g++ or any of the other tools needed installed yet, gcc-base is not (unfortunately) a package with anything useful in until you install more stuff (just some basic basic docs it looks)
