I just installed Ubuntu on my Virtualbox on Windows.

I was trying to install cmake and the installation guide in the cmake website asked me to do the following steps 

./bootstrap
make
make install

But when I just did the ./bootstrap command I get the following list of errors, can anyone suggest me how I can set the C++ compiler on my system. As I just installed Ubuntu perhaps the C++ is not set currently.

Kindly help.

CMake 2.8.1, Copyright 2000-2009 Kitware, Inc.
C compiler on this system is: cc

Error when bootstrapping CMake:
Cannot find appropriate C++ compiler on this system.
Please specify one using environment variable CXX.
See cmake_bootstrap.log for compilers attempted.
