As I understand it, it seems to be trying to install the package from the
InstallationCD and failing for some reason (MD5 mismatch of the package!).
Shouldn't normally happen if you are using the same version of CD that you
installed from. But there is a possibility of the CD being corrupted.

Possible remedy would be -

   1. Edit /etc/apt/sources.list file and comment out lines that refer to
   the Installation CD as a source of packages. Also check to see if there are
   any Internet sources listed in the file. There should be some.
   2. Refresh the package database - sudo apt-get update
   3. Then try installing the package - sudo apt-get install gcc g++

You need to be connected to the Internet to install packages this way. It
might ask you for a Y/N questions to get packages from the Internet. Go
ahead and say Y!
