John's advice is good for packages in debian which you want to build from source for whatever reason. Pigeon's will do what you asked, but I don't suppose you'd like to do that ;) Really, it is down to your from-source software clearly listing what libraries it depends on. If a particular program is proving troublesome, perhaps letting the author know that it would be useful to have such a list would help other people in the same situation? -- Jon Dowland http://jon.dowland.name/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
