help with sudo apt-get

[psiho333]

Hi!

I have a problem using sudo apt-get [whatever].

For example, when i try sudo apt-get install g++, or sudo aptitude install build-essential, which should be used to install a C++ compiler, I get the same error. No packages found. I have installed ubuntu using wubi (inside windows vista). So perhaps that is causing the problem? And how can I solve it?

thanks for the answer

can you post:


cat /etc/apt/sources.list

update your package list and try again. in a terminal

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install g++ build-essential

Sync your sources with the servers.


sudo apt-get update

then install your program
