Your options are: Manually build libgdamm/etc and install them in ~/ or /opt or /usr/local Talk to the jhbuild folks about getting libgdamm/etc into that. Talk to the libgdamm/etc folks about adding it to the GNOME runtime. Package libgdamm/etc in .deb form and get them into Debian experimental: https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers Personally, I would choose just the last one or possibly all of the last three. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
