How to install OMNET++

[zak100]

Hi,


I am following the following web site:
https://computerscience247.wordpress...buntu-18-04-1/




I am trying to execute the following command:

~$ sudo apt-get -y install build-essential gcc g++ bison flex perl \qt5-default tcl-dev tk-dev libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev default-jre \doxygen graphviz libwebkitgtk-3.0–0 libopenscenegraph-dev \openscenegraph-plugin-osgearth openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev \python python3 libqt5opengl5-dev openscenegraph-plugin-osgearth libosgearth-dev libpcap-dev gnome-color-chooser nemiver



I am getting following error:


Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package libwebkitgtk-3.0–0
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libwebkitgtk-3.0–0'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libwebkitgtk-3.0–0'

Somebody please guide me.

Zulfi.

[again?]

libwebkitgtk-3.0–0 in the guide seems to be using a dash instead of hyphen

Try

libwebkitgtk-3.0-0

Articles using wordpress often use the wrong syntax.

glen@Bionic:~$ apt policy libwebkitgtk-3.0-0 
libwebkitgtk-3.0-0:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.4.11-3ubuntu3
  Version table:
     2.4.11-3ubuntu3 500
        500 http://ftp.iinet.net.au/pub/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Packages

There is a pdf install guide from omnetpp.org

Firstly fix any errors...

sudo apt install -f
sudo apt update

Then from the pdf I linked. Ubuntu chapter 5.

sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc g++ bison flex perl python python3 qt5-default libqt5opengl5-dev tcl-dev tk-dev libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev default-jre doxygen graphviz libwebkitgtk-1.0
sudo apt-get install openscenegraph-plugin-osgearth libosgearth-dev

I don't get any errors to this stage in 18.04.
