luajit ; it has one, and maybe it is enough. But I wondered in case I need to add some other debug flags or want to instrument it (which I know, I'll do some day for some other package ) or just, simply, fix it and try it with the initial package. > Otherwise one option is to build the library and load it with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, > that way you don't have to install random packages with dpkg (which is not > allowed in porterboxes as you found). That's a useful hack I may use, right. Maybe limited though :-/ Thanks Emilio. At least, I know, I'm not missing some feature :) F.
