After going to the pub, I made it home and quickly had a look. Sure enough, no c++ compiler was installed. There was a common compiler as well as g++, but g++ sounds good, so I've gone with that. The version showed with the command you suggested after I had installed it. So I'm letting it configure while I sleep and hopefully it will be ready for me to have fun with make next.
