I am looking for: 1. xlibs-dev 2. libmysqlclient12-dev 3. magick6-dev if some body could please tell me what packages these are in I would appreciate it. I use the apt-get command line utility. </blockquote></div>You can search using apt-cache search <searchterm> But this tool is not as efficient as the aptitude search <searchterm> -- Regards, Amit Joshi
