now we're at it, where does one get the Debian Packaged distribution for Xfree86 4.0.2 ?

What package is this library in? (or where can I download it?). Also, I'm trying to install emacs, X, etc. Someone told me I could if I put the packages on hold, but it still won't let me install without install xfree86-common/xlib6g. Please help me. 'z' is probably zlib. I've got the "zlib1g" and "zlib1g-dev" packages, which are probably what you'r looking for. Incidentally, you shouldn't compile from source if there's a package available for what you want(and, of course, XFree86 is packaged). If you *must* compile from source, then do it with a source package, 'apt-get source <package(s)>', then go into whichever directory it created, and do a 'dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b'(as root). If you need a package out of unstable, make a deb-src entry in sources.list pointing to Unstable, and then do the above process for it. David Barclay Harris, Clan Barclay Aut agere, aut mori.
