That is an extremely vague problem description, which makes it nearly
impossible to help you.
What program are you trying to install or run?
Is it a binary?
If so, Does it come from a Debian package, or is it a binary you downloaded
from the net? What are the exact error messages you get? What output do
"file" and "ldd" give on the binary?
If not, where can the source be found? How are you trying to build it, and
what are the exact error messages you get? Did you install the relevant
"-dev" packages for the libraries this program requires?

That's plain impossible. There are quite a few Debian packages which cannot
be installed simultaneously on one system (and they properly declare this
using "Conflicts:") so there is simply no way in which anyone can install
everything in Debian.
