Had a look at that... and yes i have g++ installed (Version: 4:3.3.5-3). 
 Ive checked and installed just about everything i could find to do 
with g++, but still no luck... Can you help me a little more to force it 
ot use the C++ compiler? Ive taken a look at your instrctions above... 
But cant find a 'conftest.c' file??
