I tried downoading 4.8 for 12.04 from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/test/+packages (I did not find for 13.04 as is mentioned here: How to install gcc-4.8) and I think I messed up trying to install it.

apt-get install gcc-4.8 gives : 

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

followed by a long list of packages and the recommendation: 

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution)

but apt-get -f install says

E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
E: Unable to correct dependencies

Please help I need it for the C++11 support

Update 04/28/2013

This was fixed with 

sudo apt-get clean

followed by 

sudo apt-get update

then 

apt-get upgrade -f

Many thanks to everyone for trying to help!

The best way to install gcc with C++11 support is to do 

sudo apt-get install build-essential

and then compile the source code with

g++ <Filename>.cpp -std=c++0x

  • but you still need to add ppa otherwise it will install 4.7 – Qasim Apr 27 '13 at 05:37
  • Even with 4.7 we can compile C++11. – thefourtheye Apr 27 '13 at 05:40
  • ty for updating ....i dont know anything about C++11 – Qasim Apr 27 '13 at 05:41
  • thanks for answering!, what I did is download the i386.deb files and run sudo dpkg -i .deb, which finished with various errors and now I get 70 broken packages in the Synaptic Package Manager. When I tried apt-get install build essential (I do have the ppa) I got :E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? – user152730 Apr 27 '13 at 21:12
  • 4.7 does not support inhereted constructors aka using A:A etc – user152730 Apr 27 '13 at 21:17

  • thanks for answering! Please read my comment to the above answer I am getting the same errors when I try apt-get update, mea culpa! Package Manager was open now I get: sudo apt-get install gcc-4.8-base Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done gcc-4.8-base is already the newest version. You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: and finally E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).     – user152730 Apr 27 '13 at 21:18
  • ... as with apt-get install build-essential above – user152730 Apr 27 '13 at 21:24
