Yes, you are right: today I ran apt-get build-dep ... must have been some other name, but I thought it was the right one and it installed some stuff so I thought that step was done. When I run it with the right package name, it says: bjb@blueeyes:~/projects/xserver-xorg/xorg-server-1.10.4$ sudo apt-get build-dep xorg-server Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...
