sudo apt-get install build-essential
I tried this.
No candidate version found for g++.
No packages will be installed.
Can someone help me?
Thanks

For want of sounding obvious?

What have you got in the /etc/apt/sources.list file? Have you run 'sudo apt-get update' before trying to install build-essential?

Pakage g++ is not available, but is ref. to by another pkg. This may mean that the pkg is missing, has been obsoleted or is available from another source.
E : Pkg g++ has no installation candidate.
I also tried going thru the pkg manager (GUI tool). There were g++ pkges, I tried installing them from the list. But I got the error msg : Not installable.

I ran the 'sudo apt-get update' .
Then I tried sudo apt-get install g++
It says : Pkg g++ is not available but is referred to by another pkg.
This may mean that the pkg is missing /obsoleted or is only available from another source.
Pkg G++ has no installation candidate.
