Talk to the admin contact listed for each machine at http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi. This is usually debian-admin, who've been pretty responsive any time I've asked them for build-deps, although when possible I generally try to avoid having to bother them by installing build-deps in my home directory and hacking include paths. This often makes sense when experimenting but obviously wouldn't be a good idea if I was building a package for upload. > Should I use a chroot (imagine dozens of users install their own > chroot on a single machine...)? You need root privileges to chroot. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
