I'm also a beginner, so I'll try my best but I cannot ensure you that my
'howto' is error prone (do not shoot at the pianist, please. He's doing
his best...).

So...

If you are using a Debian, first execute this:
su -c 'apt-get build-dep gcc-4.3'

This will sort out all the stupid 'I miss this package'.

Then:

1) Create a 'build' directory:
mkdir build && cd build

2) Execute the configure:
../src/configure --enable-languages=c,c++

3) The usual:
make && su -c 'make install'
