There are two ways that I use, I prefer to use the apt-file application which you can install (aptitude install apt-file or whatever method you use). Read the docs, remember to do a 'apt-file update' which will download a local searchable database of while package contains which file. The can you find out by doing a 'apt-file search sys/types.h' for example. In your case, you will see that you need to install libc6-dev. Or, you can go to http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages, scroll down to "Search the contents of packages" and enter sys/types.h and get the same answer. Hope that helps. /Daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
