You are seeing this error because you are holding some unmet dependencies. Open terminal window and run the following commands

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -f sudo apt autoremove sudo apt autoclean sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade 

You can then go ahead and install you package by running the command sudo apt-get install gcc
