Trouble installing on Ubuntu 12.04 x64

[jsg007]

Hi everyone, I am new to Linux, and I have trouble installing Code::Blocks.

I tried downloading the packages from the download page, but I get various errors with the dependencies if I try to install them one by one.

Then I tried installing from the Ubuntu Software Center, I get the next error:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

codeblocks: Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1) but 1:4.6.3-1ubuntu5 is to be installed
            Depends: codeblocks-common (= 10.05-2) but 12.11-1 is to be installed

I tried to search and install those packages, but the error still appears...

Can anybody with Linux experience please give a me hint on what should I do now?

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the reply!

I tried the solution from that thread, but I am getting the following error lines:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of codeblocks:
codeblocks depends on libfontconfig1 (>= 2.9.0); however:
 Version of libfontconfig1 on system is 2.8.0-3ubuntu9.1.
dpkg: error processing codeblocks (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of codeblocks-contrib:
codeblocks-contrib depends on libfontconfig1 (>= 2.9.0); however:
 Version of libfontconfig1 on system is 2.8.0-3ubuntu9.1.
codeblocks-contrib depends on libgamin0; however:
 Package libgamin0 is not installed.
codeblocks-contrib depends on codeblocks (= 12.11-1); however:
 Package codeblocks is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing codeblocks-contrib (--install):

I already tried installing the libfontconfig1 package yesterday, but didn't help.

Edit:

So libfontconfig1 cannot install because fontconfig-config has wrong version, but fontconfig-config cannot install because breaks existing package libfontconfig1

Ok, I managed to install everything using the dpkg and apt-get commands.

Black magic! ;D
