i didn't look yet at the strace output, but i you want to compile a debian package it is very easy, just do : dpkg-source -x package.dsc cd package dpkg-buildpackage -rsudo -us -uc and it should build you most of the packages. sometimes there are some problems. i will write another mail with my experiences in this ares soon ...
