I installed Ubuntu 12.04 in my notebook and I use C++. I want to use C++11, so I want to upgrade my gcc to gcc-4.7. I ran these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test  
sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.7  
sudo apt-get install g++-4.7

But when I ran sudo apt-get install gcc-4.7, it can find gcc-4.7-base but not gcc-4.7. And when I ran sudo apt-get install g++-4.7, it could not find anything.

Today, I wanted to install bumblebee so I started to run these commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia
sudo reboot

But when I ran sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia, it told me the packages couldn't be found.

I used the Ubuntu 12.04 methods described here and here.

What can I do?

  • is sudo apt-get update is completing successfully? and what version of ubuntu are you using. I suspect you are using a old version for which the packages are not listed. – Web-E Jun 25 '12 at 07:16
  • you can see in this ppa gcc 4.7 only exist for precise not in oneric https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/test?field.series_filter=oneiric – Web-E Jun 25 '12 at 07:19
  • Try rebooting and do sudo apt-get update and try installing them again. Also can you post your lsb_release -a output here. – atenz Jun 25 '12 at 07:25

  • Please do not use the same answer for multiple questions. Also, this answer is more like a comment, because you are asking a question in an answer. – RolandiXor Apr 12 '13 at 19:16

    Sorry about that @RolandiXor. I gave the same answer to two questions which were similar. I ll put this kind of suggestion in comment next time onwards... – thefourtheye Apr 13 '13 at 05:10
