did you run `apt-get update` first? > The problem is I don't know how to compile from source :)) well, it's a useful thing to know! download some .tgz source program, and read the INSTALL file in it. The basic general thing to do is: tar xzf foo.tgz cd foo ./configure make make install That will usually put the program in /usr/local. If the program you want to build is in Debian already, you can use apt-get source foo, and debuild from the devscripts package, or use apt-build. I don't know about installing something from a different release though. I just read an article about apt-build, it looks really good, check it out :) http://julien.danjou.info/article-apt-build.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
