Ah, ok.. (If the author tried to be confusing he could have made it say "Blue: No roof" or something. Although on a second thought that probably would have been too obvious and made ppl check out the source, and this way he got it actually more confusing by being less confusing. Clever.) > Are you sure all build dependencies are installed ? No. "apt-src install foo" installed a lot of stuff, so I guessed it was OK and didn't know how to fix it even if it wasn't OK. > apt-get build-dep foo That didn't seem to do anything but apparently it did the trick because now it works. Thanks!!! (It would be nice if the man page of apt-src would state that "build" requires doing an "apt-get build-dep".)
