Ran into this when trying to run install_dependencies.sh. I installed GLUT myself, saw this thread: http://forum.openframeworks.cc/t/fatal-error:-gstgst.h:-no-such-file-or-directory/7412/0

tried the sudo apt-get for all the depdencies and I get:

  
Note, selecting 'libglew1.6-dev' instead of 'libglew1.5-dev'  
Note, selecting 'libsndfile1-dev' instead of 'libsndfile-dev'  
freeglut3-dev is already the newest version.  
g++ is already the newest version.  
libgstreamer0.10-dev is already the newest version.  
libglu1-mesa-dev is already the newest version.  
libglu1-mesa-dev set to manually installed.  
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have  
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable  
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created  
or been moved out of Incoming.  
The following information may help to resolve the situation:  
  
The following packages have unmet dependencies:  
 gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg : Depends: libavcodec53 (>= 5:0.9.1) but it is not going to be installed  
                        Depends: libavformat53 (>= 5:0.9.1) but it is not going to be installed  
                        Depends: liborc-0.4-0 (>= 1:0.4.16) but 1:0.4.14-1 is to be installed

 libavformat-dev : Depends: libavformat53 (= 5:0.9.1-0.1) but it is not going to be installed

suggestions?

#2

have you tried manually installing the 3 dependencies beforehand?
Could also be a PPA problem, from what I read here: http://askubuntu.com/search?q=The+following+packages+have+unmet+dependencies%3A++

Another search points to some package availability problem. Do you see those dependencies in the package manager?

All of them are already installed except libavformat53 which doesn’t seem to want to install :confused:

I’ll see what I can figure out on the LMDE forums, I think this is a problem b/c I’m using the non-Ubuntu version of Mint, the purely Debian based one.

Ok, it was just that my sources.list was off/weird. On the off chance that someone else might run into the same thing, it ran fine with the following:
