problem installing ddd

[desperateme]

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie to Linux trying to install ddd for my computer course. Unfortunately, it's not going well, so I'd be very thankful for your help!

So, I've downloaded and extracted the package and I type the ./configure command in the terminal. What I get in the end is this>
error: You must set the environment variable CXX to a working
C++ compiler. Also check the CXXFLAGS settings.
See the file 'config.log' for further diagnostics.

Translation, anyone?
Thanks

Have you installed the packages in build-essential ?

sudo apt-get install build-essential

[desperateme]

Thanks for trying for help, but no, it didn't work.

all I get after the command is this:
E: Malformed line 60 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
E: The list of sources could not be read.

Any idea what I should do next?

post the contents of your sources.list file

[desperateme]

I think you may have misunderstood my ubuntu knowledge
I am, for the time being, an idiot.

So, I am not quite sure what you are asking me to do...
What should I post from the sources.list?

The whole thing (/etc/apt/sources.list). Remember to wrap in "code" tags or uncheck the "Parse Links" option, or the forum will translate the links making it more difficult to see exactly what's going on.

And how do I do that? The whole thing has five tabs with a bunch of stuff and I don't get it...

Btw, thanks a lot for helping!

ok, got it!

Hmmm, I'm a little confused. Are you using 8.04 Hardy or 8.10 Intrepid on this computer?

[desperateme]

8.10
I don't get the second part neither
