Apparently > that would mean that xorg-dev is not a dependency then eh? xorg-dev is a metapackage that installs a bunch of other development packages, so no, it is not strictly needed. One of the build dependencies is libxaw7-dev, which in turn depends on libx11-dev (and others), and another build-dependency is libgtk-3-dev, which also depends on other X development packages, so you're probably fine. Of course, if you want to compile a front-end that isn't included in the Debian build (e.g. GNUstep or GTK+2), then you may need to install other development packages. I forgot to mention that you may also install the build-essential package (though it may be unnecessary if you've already got its dependencies installed). -- Hubert Chathi - Email/Jabber: hubert@uhoreg.ca - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 4096R/113A1368 (Key available at pool.sks-keyservers.net) Fingerprint: F24C F749 6C73 DDB8 DCB8 72DE B2DE 88D3 113A 1368
