Hi bubbz,

I had the same problem. BlitzMAX should really use g++ rather than g++-3.3.

To fix it, you need to create a symlink (the Linux equivalent of a shortcut) called g++-3.3 which points to your existing g++ compiler.

First you need to open up a terminal and find out where your existing g++ compiler is by typing in "whereis g++"
Navigate to that folder using the cd command ("cd <path to folder containing g++>")

To create the symlink, do this:

sudo link g++ g++-3.3

And enter your root password (SUSE, Fedora etc.) or your own password (Ubuntu, Kubuntu).

I don't know exactly where g++ is located on SUSE / Fedora etc, but on Ubuntu it is in /usr/bin
