Missing dependencies perhaps? Maybe you should do as root first: apt-get build-dep gcc-2.95 [or whatever your version's packages is called? For my part I use apt-get only to download the source, and either dpkg-buildpackage or debuild -options to build. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
