have you installed the build dependencies? # apt-get build-dep <pkg>? if you can find a similar package in complexity you can grab that source version and look at what it does and clone it for your own use. $ apt-get source <other-pkg> $ cp -a <other-pkg> <new-pkg> ...edit stuff... ...build... also: i'm not sure if the package build-essential is up to date, but it lists some basics. and: there are references and the mentors list which may be able to answer specific questions. that is all i can think of to point you in directions which may help. songbird
