Grmpf, it will become a FAQ if it's not already :) In general, a "libxxxn" package provides support for library "xxx" with a major number of "n". That means that you can run programs that need such a library at execution time. Now, if you want to compile programs using this library (instead of just executing them), then you will need the package "libxxxn-dev" or "libxxx-dev". Sam PS/ sometimes, the name is not "libxxxn" but "xxxn" or "xxxn-runtime". -- Samuel Tardieu -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
