I want to install the build-essential package. I have tried with:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

But I get an error of package not found. I think this error is probably due to firewalled network of my company.

So I tried to download its debian package. When I run it, it gives me a dependency error on g++4.6.

So I try to install g++4.6, but it depends on libstdc++6-4.6. Then I try to install this library, but this one has a dependency on g++4.6.

So now I am confused to how to do this. Please help me.!!!

Try the below command,it will install build-essential package,

sudo apt-get install build-essential

If you face any dependency error then run sudo apt-get install -f
