I frequently do this with couple of packages. For example, I would like to have readline support, history support in gnuplot. So I recompile it myself in a "debianized way". The step-by-step instructions as to how I do it can be found at http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/2007/04/build-gnuplot-with-gnu-readline-and.html BTW, This has been recently discussed at http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2007/11/msg01245.html hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
