Huh... I just searched my synaptic for the package, and it came right
up: 

        libnspr4-dev
        Development files for the NetScape Portable Runtime library
        
It appears to be in the 'main' repository, so not having a repo enables
isn't the issue either. 

try running:
        sudo apt-get install libnspr4-dev
at a terminal, then try installing the package again.

Even so, Installing from the repositories is usually the best idea...
mainly because the version in the repos gets auto-updated if a newer
version comes out, and usually it's better supported.

hope that helps!
