Saïvann : Thanks for your reply. No joy yet. I'm not sure what repositories are, but I searched on 'repos' in synaptic and all the packages that came up were active.
I should explain that I'm running ubuntu in a virtual machine (Parallels on a MacBook). If there is no easy fix, I will abandon the installation and find a Windows copy to install. I just need to run a few small programs. Below is the output from the terminal. Thanks again for your time.
