While I agree with your other comments, I think learning about tools like "apt-get build-dep" is worthwhile - the apt/aptitude tools are extremely useful for this kind of thing, and form a body of knowledge in themselves. I really recommend that people either install the apt-howto package, or read <a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/"> http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/</a> with particular attention to the bits about source handling: <a href="http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html">http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html </a> I agree that a first compiling attempt should be something *much* less involved than an office suite :-) Peter -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com"> ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Registered Linux User : 418463
