[CPLUG] Wondering if anyone could explain some Linux stuff to me

[Aaron Burke]

I'm trying to compile and run some .cpp files that use glut calls on my laptop, but it doesn't recognize g++ so it tells me try installing the package g++, which it fails to find when I do that. I don't know if its trying to get this off the net, and currently I don't know how to connect to a wireless network. Even if I get all that working I don't know if I have to let Linux know how to find the glut libraries and how I would do that (I think I have to set my environment variables but I'd prefer to have someone who knows what they're doing to run me through all these steps before I do things on my own) So if anyone has the time to quickly sit down with me sometime and show me how to do all of this I would really appreciate it.
