Hi. I recently bought a HTC magic, for a week ago I installed "Terminal Emulator", trying to install G++ (c++ compiler), but the terminal only says "permission denied" Iam using following command 'sudo apt-get install g++'

How to be superuser?

is there any c++ compilers @ market?

Thanks!

Just to be bluntly open and questionable, are you rooted? I know terminal emulator's can be found in the market but I don't see the point without having super user access./having rooted your device.

What Iceberg is trying to say is that you need to hack your phone and put a custom ROM on it (known as rooting) to gain SU access. Do a search for "how to root htc magic" to get you started.

Since it's a magic if you can, talk to Simms22 about the 1click root method. He'll be here, eventually. haha
