Try installing libdb2-dev (though I don't know if that's in potato). Usually when you are having trouble compiling something because of a missing library, you can be sure that the package that you need to install begins with "lib" and ends with "-dev". I don't know how a new user would know about the "db2" part. You know that you need "db", so you do a search for libdb in apt-cache, I guess. It's a shame that apt-cache doesn't do regex searches. Incidentally, libdb1 depends on libc5, so you probably don't want it. If libdb2-dev isn't in potato, you might just need libc6-dev. Cheers, Chris -- Got jag? http://www.tribsoft.com
