Responding to my last email. apt-cache search libtoolize returned noting but google returned libtool so I installed it and got past that error.
Current error is # patch libtool debian/fixrpath make: execvp: debian/fixrpath: Permission denied make: *** [config.status] Error 127 debuild: fatal error at line 456: dpkg-buildpackage failed! i can probably get past this on my own. i'll email again if I have to. than you all, regards, justin -----Original Message----- From: Paul Cupis [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 2:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: debuild error please advise -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Tuesday 01 October 2002 22:32, justin cunningham wrote: > I'm using a debian package built by a friend and it works great however > I need a patch he didn't so he told me to get his source, apply my patch > then debuild. > > So I downloaded his source package orig.tar.gz, .dsc, diff.gz > i386_changes -- basically all files except the .deb and extracted the > source, applied the patch and cd into the source tree and ran 'fakeroot > debuild' and got > > $ fakeroot debuild > debuild: fatal error at line 317: > Cannot find debian/rules anywhere!

Is there a debian/ directory in the root of the source tree? Does it contain a file called rules? Is that file executable? You can find all the answers to these questions by running the simple command: ls -l debian/rules If it isn't there, then either you have done something wrong, or the person who sent you the files has. If it is not executable, make it executable (chmod a+x debian/rules) and try again.
