That's a confusing message you've posted!
Visual C++ is not available for Linux. Microsoft couldn't compete with
the compilers already available for the platform. The IDE might be
nice, but I'm sure that with a bit of searching you could find something
comparable. I know MetroWorks has ported their CodeWarrior IDE to Linux
(saw it at CompUSA a couple days ago and almost bought it).
Compiling C++ source on Linux only requires that you install the g++ and
libraries packages and you should be up and running.
