Apt-file gives several possibilities: $ sudo apt-file update $ apt-file search forms.h | grep '/forms.h$' libforms-dev: usr/X11R6/include/X11/forms.h libvdk1-dev: usr/include/vdk/forms.h libvdk2-dev: usr/include/vdk2/vdk/forms.h $ apt-file search buf.h | grep '/buf.h$' genesis: usr/include/genesis/buf.h postgresql-dev: usr/include/postgresql/server/storage/buf.h I'm guessing you want Xforms, in the libforms-dev package, although that doesn't seem to contain a buf.h. It would be helpful if you knew what the library was called, instead of just the filenames of its header files. Using "apt-cache show <package>" on each of the above might help you decide. Also, you are unlikely to find a package containing "forms.c"; any package in Debian would have it compiled into a static or dynamic library (.a or .so file) which you then link against. If you really do want the source code, you can get it with "apt-get source <package>". regards, -- Kevin B.
