Installation issues

Asked by Daniel James Tarplett

Hi

I'm trying to install Feincs on a new precise. I'm getting

daniel@ubuntu:~/MEK4300$ sudo apt-get install fenics
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Any help would be very much appreciated.

You should at the FEniCS PPA to your software sources. Then you'll download the latest stable release (v1.1). Check out the instructions here.
