Well, I must admit that I had similar problems to you when building the same package on the Intel/Potato machine. I have Intel/Woody here so it just installed without a build. Basically what I did was compare my *dev* entries on my successful Alpha/Potato with that of my Intel/Potato and installed the difference. Then the samba package built fine. What I can say for sure is the 2.2.0.final.a samba source is running on all my machines now without a hitch and I had to build them for the potato machines. In the case of my over-simplified e-mail from before, my Alpha/Potato machine just happened to have all the right packages already loaded. There is no dependency built in to a source package.
