Need help regarding Make File

[shikhar229169]

I tried to install Make through the command

sudo apt install make

But it throws the error

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'make-guile' instead of 'make'
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:
 guile-3.0-libs : Depends: libgc1 (>= 1:7.4.2) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I tried it with chatGPT, tried everything it told to do, but still it throws the same error.

Hi @shikhar229169, please try the solution in this link: Install make Ubuntu.
It was mentioned here #195.

Have you tried installing the required dependency?
Try installing it using this guide.

sudo apt update

sudo apt -y install libgc1

@ChefAharoni, Yes I tried this already before making this thread, it throws the error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package libgc1 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'libgc1' has no installation candidate

[ChefAharoni]

Then seems like this particular package is giving you problems.
Have you tries this fix?

You can search for the package with apt-cache:

apt-cache search x

This will output all packages that in a way or another make a reference to x.
