How do I compile C++ in Jaunty latest version??

[Noobuntu5]

Getting an error when I try to compile C++ using Jaunty latest ver.

sudo apt-get install g++
[sudo] password for tuxorsauce:
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?

Any Idears?

That's not the compiler command, that would be for installing g++.
Apparently, two or more instances of apt are trying to run at the same time, wait for one to finish before you install your next program.

Instead of installing g++, install build-essential:

sudo aptitude install build-essential

and compile your c++ sources with this command:


g++ my_source.cpp -o my_binary
