G++ installation problems

[merrill541]

Hello everyone.
I have been trying to install g++ on my ubuntu by using sudo apt-get install g++ but whenever I do that I am pretty sure what happens is that the apt command does not see the two plus signs and tries to install or search for packages called g. Any suggestions?

What is that output you get when you try to install?

Actually somehow it seems to have worked now. I think it was after I did the command sudo apt-get install update or something along those lines and then when I did sudo apt-get install g++ it works now. But before it was saying that it cannot find the package g.

sudo apt-get update
This command updates package information. Glad to know that it worked. :)
