Hi Christoph The machine that does the GSRC report in the compile farm doesn't have any graphics -dev packages installed. I started to add Makefiles for the needed packages into gsrc itself but there were too many for me to complete it, so I commented out the line of dependencies. If you know what the minimum set of packages is needed to compile Gnash on Debian 5.0 I could ask the system administrator of the compile farm to install them. Otherwise the solution is to add those packages into gsrc, with their own directories and Makefiles. -- Brian Gough
