I tried to install AmberTool. But when I followed the installation manual system told me to install the following dependencies:

sudo apt-get install csh flex gfortran g++ xorg-dev \
     zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev patch python-tk python-matplotlib

That gave me the following errors:

I did run sudo apt-get update before running this but it did not change anything.

How can I fix those packages and install these dependencies?

  • try running apt-get install -f – Lucas Virgili Oct 14 '14 at 12:03
  • More of it, the install documentation tells to type: sudo apt-get install csh flex gfortran g++ xorg-dev \ zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev patch python-tk python-matplotlib. Try to install those packages one by one to see which one is incorrect. – Pyrophorus Oct 14 '14 at 13:18

Some of those packages exist in the universe repository. Not having that installed would cause the install to fail for obvious reasons. You can either enable this through the Update Manager settings or simply by:

sudo add-apt-repository universe

Then sudo apt-get update again and go back to installing.
