Generally speaking, do as little as possible as root. You don't need root privileges to build Debian packages at all; just install fakeroot and run 'dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us' (or 'debian/rules build; fakeroot debian/rules binary' if you prefer'). > But first have a dig around the debian directory and look for the > control file.

Yes, and the dependencies of the 'build-essential' package too. -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
