Hi,

I'm interested in installing Inline::CPP on my ubuntu box.
Obviously I need g++ for that but, although gcc-4.6.3 is installed, I don't seem to have g++:

sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~$ g++ -v
The program 'g++' can be found in the following packages:
 * g++
 * pentium-builder
Try: sudo apt-get install <selected package>
sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~$
[download]

So I tried:

sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install g++

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 g++:i386 : Depends: cpp:i386 (>= 4:4.6.3-1ubuntu5) but it is not goin
+g to be installed
            Depends: gcc:i386 (>= 4:4.6.3-1ubuntu5) but it is not goin
+g to be installed
            Depends: g++-4.6:i386 (>= 4.6.3-1~) but it is not going to

            Depends: gcc-4.6:i386 (>= 4.6.3-1~) but it is not going to
+ be installed

sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~$

and I also tried:

sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install pentium-builder
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package pentium-builder is not available, but is referred to by anothe
+r package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'pentium-builder' has no installation candidate
sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~$
[download]

and (although I already have a very serviceable gcc-4.6.3 and make), I tried:

sisyphus@sisyphus5-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

Any advice on how to install g++ ?

Cheers,
