You may have already done some or all of the steps below, but for reference my "cheat sheet" for this is as follows: 1. Install the following packages: build-essential, bison, gawk, texinfo 2. Change /bin/sh symlink to point to bash instead of dash build-essential takes care of the C++ support because it brings in the "g++" pacakge.
