This git clone step (and then make) does NOT want sudo, only apt-get commands do.
Hmm, it says the error is opening the file "for writing"
That sounds like a permission problem or less likely disk full.
Do you try to do some of this stuff as root or another user?
Try "rm -rf build" to delete the build directory and start over (assuming you don't have any wallet files in there)

Yeah, I just did this. I sudo-deleted the build folder, and tried to reconstruct it (same error).
I then backed out of the entire directory, deleted that, and redownloaded it with
Quote
sudo git clone https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git
and tried re-making it, and still the same error.
I only have one user account on this install, which is me with an administrator type account. I guess the only piece of information at all relevant to my install is that I chose the encryption option and encrypted my operating system with a tough password.
Sorry it's being so frustrating.
Try:
chown -R: ~/Monero/bitmonero/
Close your console if you never did after latest installations (env variables messed up?), open new one. Then:
make clean
make
chown -R

I also tried
and was told that they were already installed and up to date.

sudo apt-get install gcc

sudo apt-get install g++
and was told that they were already installed and up to date.
EDIT: maybe you don't have the C++ modules installed for gcc?
I usually install build-essential, which pulls in all the compiler stuff needed.
I just installed this: http://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/build-essential
which sadly did not fix the problem. Attempting to compile still gives the same mega-error.
Let me google some stuff about installing c++ modules prior to trying to compile?
Is it possible that there's some basic n00b step I haven't done? Remember, I've done nothing but what I said. Fresh OS install, set up a firewall, added a wireless network, and started playing around with terminal.

Ummmm, like I said,
I'll go Google how to install those. Thanks for the suggestion.
ARE YOU ROOT?
No I just didn't mention the usual sudo
I'm not sure what is causing the "Internal CMake error"
Maybe that's something someone else has seen before, I have not.
Ok, well thanks for your help. If anyone is curious it's a new compy, fresh install of Linux Mint 17.2, and after getting the internet up and running I went to the terminal and typed and executed all of the following commands, in this order:

MOST RECENT ERROR
It's a shame; I was looking forward to compiling and playing with the latest version. Let me know if I can bug/newbie test anything else or help to try to understand why this is happening.

apt-get install cmake
Ok, I used that command (ARE YOU ROOT?) and had to use it with sudo (I'm assuming it's because I have a user password on). Afterwards "make" gives me a massive text dump upon trying to compile.

Any ideas what's going wrong?
apt-get install cmake
replace all the libboost1.55... crap in the apt-get install line with
libboost1.55-all-dev
EDIT: I see Melbustus pointed out the same thing above.
I don't know why the previous instructions specified a specific set of boost packages but that really makes things more fragile and isn't needed unless you are trying to fit the system onto the tiniest little device with minimal storage (and then good luck running a monero node). The default set of boost packages is fine.

Thanks for the response. I've followed all the instructions and this is what I'm getting. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Running Linux Mint 17.2, a fresh install. I followed all the commands to install all the packages previously.

Wow, thanks for trying to make it easy for us newbies! I'm running Mint Cinnamon 17.2 so it was a pleasant surprise to find your compiling instructions here without even having to ask.
So starting out, I'm one million percent new to this, and tried the following command by Gingerale in my Linux Mint 17.2 terminal:
All worked well, but four errors came up for the following two packages:
E: Unable to locate package libboost-date_time1.55-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libboost-date_time1.55-dev'
E: Unable to locate package libboost-program_options1.55-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libboost-program_options1.55-dev'
So, being the resourceful and irresponsible person I am, I started throwing sudo commands around like Avarda Kevardas in a Harry Potter movie and stuff installed:
Some stuff happened. I hope it was supposed to happen.
Moving on.

sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all-dev
Working now, though!
Thanks for the detailed post, GingerAle.
Just tried to install Monero on my Mac using the official "getting started" site. After some errors from homebrew (brew doctor solved it), the installation went as expected 
Thanks and yes I meant without.
So I have some Monero, on an exchange. Can I store them anywhere, apart from an exchange, with downloading a wallet and the entire blockchain?
do you mean "without downloading..." ?
if so, https://mymonero.com/#/ should be what you're looking for.
