I have the gcc installed. I can compile C programs. But I cannot compile C++ programs. If I write g++ on comd line, it says program not installed. I tried sudo apt-get install g++ It gives me a very long output, saying things like some packages cannot be installed and some are newest version already. Also tried

sudo apt-get install build-essential

It says build-essential package is not available. Also tried

sudo apt-get update

Nothing works. What to do now? How to compile g++ programs

  • g++ is the right package. 
    dpkg --search g++ | grep bin
g++: /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-g++
g++-4.9: /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-g++-4.9
g++: /usr/bin/g++
g++-4.9: /usr/bin/g++-4.9

    You should resolve issues of your installation of g++. What is the error ?

You have to enable main and universe repositories.

See how to do that in this question:
