Andrew,

What IDE are you trying to install?

Installing G++ on Ubuntu is relatively easy:

- System menu
- Admnistration
- Synaptic Package Manager
- Scroll down to g++
- Click on the "install box"
- Select "Mark for Installation"
- It will tell you what other packages you need to install to make it work
- Click "Apply"
- Check the summary - click "Apply" again

It took me a couple of minutes to install
