Thank you William (Dr. Stein?) I seem to have a particular snag here. Not sure why.
k...@bart:~$ sudo apt-get install gfortran [sudo] password for kitz: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: gfortran: Depends: gfortran-4.4 (>= 4.4.1-1) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages k...@bart:~$ When I try to install gfortran-4.4 I get another Broken packages result. The following packages have unmet dependencies: gfortran-4.4: Depends: gcc-4.4-base (= 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) but 4.4.1-4ubuntu9 is to be installed Depends: gcc-4.4 (= 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) but 4.4.1-4ubuntu9 is to be installed Depends: libgfortran3 (>= 4.4.1-4ubuntu8) but it is not going to be installed E: Broken packages So it seems I am in a loop. Glad to know it works for your systems...I would like to have installs predictable (easy) for teaching purposes. --kitz On Jan 31, 3:40 pm, William Stein <wst...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 1/31/10, kitz <kmphi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hello, > > > The old ubuntu apt-get packages are broken (I would help if I knew > > how...if I can donate time am happy to do so, but would need > > instruction as will be evident from my problem.) > > > The gfortran packages are also broken on Ubuntu repositories. > > apt-get install gfortran > > Works fine for me on all my (many!) ubuntu 9.10 installs. > > > > > > > Downloaded sage-4.3.1-linux-Ubuntu_9.10-x86_64-Linux.tar.lzma from JMU- > > VA.
