Thank you for the response. Being a complete neophyte, I left the settings at the apt-build package defaults, not expecting the default to be invalid! (I have not found docs for the settings in apt-build.conf) I tried commenting out that line, and got a different set of errors, so I need to learn how to set mcpu. I gather I need to tell it what processor I have, but I don't know the syntax. -------------------------- $ sudo apt-build install memstat -----> Installing build dependencies (for memstat) <----- Reading Package Lists...
