Ummm, what's wrong with dpkg-source -x packagename.dsc cd packagename dpkg-buildpackage cd .. dpkg -i packagename.deb I think you don't even have to be root if you use the fake-root package, whatever that is. I used to use debian/rules build, until someone pointed out the dpkg-buildpackage command to me. ---Preston
