Hello again,

Ok...so I installed g++ using "apt-get install g++". Then I set geany to run as root from the personal menu (which looks way nicer) as per the steps outlined in the personal menu thread. Then I went into the geany preferences to give the correct path to xterm.

Now when I choose build from the build menu it says compiled correctly, and when I choose run it launches xterm...but xterm closes immediately. As in it closes before it can show anything.

So I just need help with this last thing and I'll be on my way. What am I missing?

Thanks
