$ apt-file search object.h | grep '/object\.h$' | grep sigc | wc -l 0 I suspect that that may not be a relevant question in this case; it doesn't look like the relevant -dev package contains that file (anymore). Unless the package is available in some other repo, such that this search wouldn't find it; I have stable and testing enabled, but not unstable or oldstable or experimental or anything of the sort. What would need to be done here is to update the codebase of that older program to work with the updated API (etc.) of the newer libsigc++. That would require knowing more about libsigc++ than I do, and also knowing at least some amount about the source of the program itself, which - as we haven't been told even what program it is - I certainly don't. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
