I'm guessing you are running potato, so if not this may not apply:
I've compiled every prerelease version of x11amp, up to and including
beta1.1, without problems. You have the gtk and glib stuff, but do you have
the gdk stuff too? For me, x11amp needs these libraries:

Yes, except I got at least five of #627, three of #630 and two of #631.

The Debian xmcd package comes with a program called xmcdconfig. Try running
that program to configure xmcd.

AFAICT, those are the unstable debs that were compiled against glibc 2.1.
Are there any debs that will install on a slink system?

Are you upgrading from a 2.0.x series kernel? If so, there are a number of
changes to the way sound is set up -- read the docs in Documentation/sound.
Especially if you compiled sound support as a module (which I'm guessing
you did since you weren't asked to configure it), it would be a good idea

Yup, that's supposed to happen. If you do a ps uxf, you'll notice that some
of the x11amp processes are actually spawned by the original that you
started. I think it has to do with threading.
Hope that helps,

Well, from what I hear from the Nethack maintainer (Ben Gertzfield),

I believe the problem you're having is a kernel issue. You have to
recompile, making sure that the "SMB Win95 bug work-around" is compiled in.

Well, the way I did it, a long time ago, was to grab the apt package from

Two things:
1) /usr/lib/games/nethack/nethack should be chmod-ed 2755, owned by root
and belonging to group games. I suspect this is where your problem lies.
/usr/games/nethack is just a wrapper shell script to execute the nethack
binary.
2) Are you running hamm (Debian 2.0) or slink (frozen)? I'
Do a `dpkg -S libXt.so.6` -- does xlib6g and/or xlib6 show up? You should
probably install both to keep compatibility in case either program
depends on the older xlib6 package contents and also to make sure newer
programs dependent upon the xlib6g contents will be able to find it.
Hope that helps,

For these type questions, dpkg -h is probably the most useful thing you can
do. To remove a package, just run dpkg --remove package_name. If you want
to replace it with an older package, dpkg --force-dowgrade package_filename
will do the trick. If it doesn't work just remove the package as describe

No, there are two versions of StarOffice (I'm guessing you're talking about
