That is how I installed it on mine I thought. It still certainly comes up when I search for it using apt-cache. Try adding the extra repositories using n9 tweak perhaps then
apt-get update
Then try to install again.

Now I am not with my N9 to test.

But i think gcc needs the Harmattan-dev Nokia repository, so install :
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan-beta3/free/h/harmattan-repository/harmattan-repository_0.4+0m6_all.deb
to enable this repository (if not enable before).

Then, as root (after 'devel-su' and 'rootme' as password) :
# apt-get update
# apt-get build-essential

thanks. I think that repo is allready enabled on my device.

The dependency error I was talking of basically says "Package xyz is needed but should not be installed". I gues I try to install all those packages manually via ssh later today and see what's happening

Could you copy & paste the message ?

well, here you go:

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
build-essential: Depends: libc6-dev but it is not going to be installed or libc-dev
Depends: g++ (>= 3:3.3) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.4.1.19) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

If go on in the process and try to apt-get install libc6-dev a similar message appears:

Code:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.5.0-1osso10) but 2.10-0maemo18.1+0m6 is to be installed
E: Broken packages

I think I could go on for a little while now...

EDIT: On the other hand I might just build a deb file from the source. Any qick link to how this is done best?
