Built fine here As to the rest of your post, it seems you are simply doing it too complicated. I would suggest to use debian packages for both mozilla and mozilla-dev, plus debian source packages for nautilus. If you have deb-src lines (e.g., deb-src http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ woody main non-free contrib) in your /etc/apt/sources.list, go to a directory were you as user have write permissions and enough space, then (as user) do a 'apt-get source nautilus' (and what else you need, IIRC at least nautilus-mozilla is a separate package) (and in the meanwhile read man apt-get, section source). This will download the sources to the current dir and build it with the default options. If you want non-default configure options, do 'apt-get source --download-only <package>', edit $PWD/nautilus-<version>/debian/rules. At the beginning there should be a place to put your configure options. To find out the build options, try $PWD/nautilus-<version>/configure --help. Note that usually you don't need to set library and header places, unless you have several versions installed and want to use a special one, but might want things like --with-fam. Save after edit, and then do (still as user) '$PWD/nautilus-<version>/debian/rules build'. This will build the program. Then do 'fakeroot $PWD/nautilus-<version>/debian/rules binary' (install fakeroot if you don't have it) which will build a binary package (deb) with the right permissions (as if you were root). Then su to root and install the resulting debs: 'dpkg -i $PWD *.deb' For nautilus, you'll want a load of other *-dev packages installed before building, like bonobo-dev, eel-dev, gtkhtml-dev, and lots of others. Use http://packages.debian.org/ to find out which ones. If the build complains that it wants such-and-such package, remember that you want the *-dev, too. Also, you may want to consider to add deb-src lines for sid and use mozilla and nautilus from there (0.9.6 and 1.0.6, respectively) Kind regards, M. -- I did not vote for the Austrian government
