Hi all Thanks very much to everyone for the useful feedback. As a newcomer to Debian, it is fascinating to see the added functionality that it has, but not always clear to know where to look to find it.
I was telling someone how impressed I was with the way Debian managed installing source packages, extracting the files and even patching them for you, then saying how easy it was to identify and install the necessary libraries that were required. He came back a little sardonically, saying "Well, if it's that good, why didn't it sort out the dependencies automatically?". And of course I then found that there was even an option to do that - with the apt-get build-dep option.
