how to install g++ in ubuntu?

You've created a thread like this before, right? 
sudo apt-get install build-essential not working
Are you familiar with what a software repository is in Linux?
In Ubuntu, 'apt-get' or 'aptitude' is known as the package manager.
This package manager installs packages for you, among other things.
It knows what packages are available thanks to a cached file (usually in xml) stored on your hard disk.
It generates this cache file by searching the repositories everytime you run `sdo apt-get update`
The list of repositories is stored in the text file: /etc/apt/sources.list
What's happening with you is that the repositories you currently have don't contain the build-essential package. So you have to add the right repository to the list you already have. That's why I added that link in my post in your first thread.
Which part of this are you having a problem with? If you can tell us exactly what the problem is, I'm sure one of us, in this thread, can help you out faster.

build-rdeps
BUILD-RDEPS(1) BUILD-RDEPS(1) NAME
build-rdeps - find packages that depend on a specific package to build (reverse build depends) SYNOPSIS
build-rdeps package DESCRIPTION
build-rdeps searches for all packages that build-depend on the specified package. OPTIONS
-u, --update Run apt-get update before searching for build-depends. -s, --sudo Use sudo when running apt-get update. Has no effect if -u is omitted. --distribution Select another distribution, which is searched for build-depends. --only-main Ignore contrib and non-free --exclude-component Ignore the given component (e.g. main, contrib, non-free). --origin Restrict the search to only the specified origin (such as "Debian"). -m, --print-maintainer Print the value of the maintainer field for each package. -d, --debug Run the debug mode --help Show the usage information. --version Show the version information. REQUIREMENTS
The tool requires apt Sources files to be around for the checked components. In the default case this means that in /var/lib/apt/lists files need to be around for main, contrib and non-free. In practice this means one needs to add one deb-src line for each component, e.g. deb-src http://<mirror>/debian <dist> main contrib non-free and run apt-get update afterwards or use the update option of this tool.
