Understand. Me too. Just it was a while ago - don't remember the details. May be i ran into the same problem. Do you have freetype2-dev installed. The headers are required at least. I also installed my own host.def. But if you do that and still want to build debian binary packages, you have to disable/modify some checks in the debian dir. At the end of rules target install is a cmp with a MANIFEST file. Comment that line out. As i've also taken out files from the server, i had to grep the debian/*.files.i386 files for the relevant modules and delete them there. Keep going ..., greetings, martin
