Description
I went to do a build of VBox on the Ubuntu 7 Desktop distribution, I grabbed the source and ran the apt-get command described in the linux build instructions:
apt-get install bcc iasl xsltproc xalan libxalan110-dev uuid-dev zlib1g-dev \
libidl-dev libsdl1.2-dev libxcursor-dev libqt3-headers \ libqt3-mt-dev libasound2-dev libstdc++5 libhal-dev
I went to run ./configure and I got the error message: g++ (variable CXX) not found! This indicates to the experienced linux programmer that G++ is missing. I'm not so experienced so it took me a little bit to realize this. If someone could add G++ to the apt-get install command for the linux build instructions that would be good.

See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I've added gcc and g++ to the list of Debian packages. Keep in mind that we cannot provide a detailed list for every Linux distribution. Even Debian-like distributions differ in some package names.
