C++: missing package : build-essential

Asked by xachu4u

I have read other FAQs on installing C++.

I tried this: I typed in the Terminal

"sudo apt-get install build-essential"

But finally I get the message :

"Couldn't find package build-essential."
I tried other packages like g++ and pentium-builder.
What could be wrong?

(I have ubuntu 9.04 installed within windows XP)

Also how do I know that it has been installed?
Advance thanks for any help

You ran an update as well:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install build-essential

Can you help with this problem?
