FWIW, either on your debian CD or on your local debian mirror, in the "bo" directory there should be a file called "Contents" - whenever you want to find out what debian package contains file xxx, just use grep: bash-2.01$ grep stdio.h /cdrom/bo/Contents usr/bcc/include/stdio.h devel/linux86 usr/i486-linuxaout/include/iostdio.h devel/libc4-dev usr/i486-linuxaout/include/stdio.h devel/libc4-dev usr/include/fcgi/fcgi_stdio.h devel/libfcgi1-dev usr/include/g++/std/cstdio.h devel/libg++27-dev usr/include/hdf/mstdio.h graphics/libhdf4-dev usr/include/stdio.h devel/libc5-dev usr/lib/perl5/i386-linux/5.00307/CORE/nostdio.h interpreters/perl >From this list, you could then see that the file you want is /usr/include/stdio.h, and thereby find out which package you need. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
