    It's been suggested I try to install the package from source - but
    I'm not sure how to do that in this case.  I can download the source
    and have the compiler installed - but what else?


Basically:

   1. config
   2. make
   3. make install

... in that order. For more, try this link below or just start googling:

Thanks, Sam, but I've already tried that (sorry, I wasn't that clear). There are a huge number of dependencies - some which have conflicts with packages from etch base.

But that will also make my installed version out of sync with what dpkg has listed - which is my bigger concern.
