HI, When you download a debian source package after extracting it you can find the dependencies in the package-version/debian/control file.
There can be more packages to install or compile again. e.g I have the following src URI-s in my /etc/apt/sources.list: #Sources stable deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian stable main non-free contrib deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian-non-US stable/non-US main non-free contrib #Sources testing deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian testing main non-free contrib deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian-non-US testing/non-US main non-free contrib #Sources unstable deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian unstable main non-free contrib deb-src ftp://sunsite.uio.no/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main non-free contrib You may need: dpkg-dev - Package building tools for Debian Gabor Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 07:00:41 -0700 From: Eric Richardson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Resent-From: debian-laptop@lists.debian.org Hi, I'm on stable and trying to compile a program that requires the following: libgnome 1.2.x, gtk+ 1.2.7 and libxml 1.8.x and gnome-print 0.25. I installed the libgnome-dev (which installs libgtk1.2-dev) and libxml-dev which gives me the following: libgnome 1.0.56, gtk+ 1.2.7 and libxml 1.8.x and gnome-print 0.10. I think the gnome-print comes with libgnome. Anyway, I was wondering how I can get the 1.2 libgnome. It looks like it is libgnome32 in testing but I couldn't find any installable packages. Could I put a deb src for testing and then get the source to compile and then install? What package? Will installing the new libs conflict or mess up the current libs? I really don't want to mess up a perfectly good system because I don't know what I am doing. Any help would be appreciated. Eric
