Couldn't you just go ahead without it? I tried leaving out xlispstat, but next I found that libdb3++-dev is also missing. (The search function is down on the Debian sight, so I don't know what libdb3++-dev is.) The reason I'm using the O'Reilly book is my lack of knowledge about networking. The book is a "cookbook" -- very short on underlying theory and explanations of "why". The idea is that you build the server using their instructions as a guide, and in the process you learn what it is that you're actually doing. If I start leaving things out that are prescribed by the book, in my present state of ignorance I'll have a difficult time figuring out what's going on when my results don't conform to the book, and my progress will be *very slow*. > > Therefore, maybe I could install the version of Debian that was > > current in 2007 (when the book was written).
