I was using this site to follow the commands on how to install node:

```
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Installation

```

This part had no errors:

```
git clone --depth 1 git://github.com/joyent/node.git # or git clone git://github.com/joyent/node.git if you want to checkout a stable tag
cd node
git checkout v0.4.10 # optional.  Note that master is unstable.
export JOBS=2 # optional, sets number of parallel commands.
mkdir ~/local

```

Once I hit this command, I got the error

```
root@tgwizman:/node# ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local/node

Checking for program icpc                : not found

/node/wscript:228: error: could not configure a cxx compiler!

```

What should I do to get a cxx compiler?
