Ahhaa.. now I know why my built from emacs source 21.1.95 wouldn't run in console mode... maybe. I went to some length to get libungif4-dev installed, and got a `yes' at that point in configure output. All this is history now (about that build of 21.2.95)since I reinstalled last night/this morning due to other problems that have mounted up. I don't have anything really important on it yet. If you look at the rest of this thread. The recent parts. It kind of chronicles a series of problems with building from source, I mean the apt-get -b source way. That continues even though I went back to tasksel and selected all devel stuff hoping that was my problem. Just now an `apt-get -b source vim' failed. Its a little confusing since apt-get is supposed to be getting all dependancy stuff. It looks like it is too, but then it fails. dpkg-source: extracting vim in vim-6.0.226 dpkg-buildpackage: source package is vim dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 6.0.226-1 dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Wichert Akkerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> dpkg-buildpackage: host architecture is i386 dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libgpmg1-dev dpkg-buildpackage: Build dependencies/conflicts unsatisfied; aborting. dpkg-buildpackage: (Use -d flag to override.)
