HAL9000:~$ dpkg -S /usr/include/string.h libc6-dev: /usr/include/string.h I believe libc6-dev is what you need to provide those. Remember, the lib-whatever packages are the runtime items and the lib-whatever-dev are needed to compile your own stuff. I've stumbled over that one *many* times. But once you manage to remember that, you're pretty much set. > Also, I have bind installed. But funnily tho, nslookup doesn't seem to > be anywhere on the system. Has its name changed or what?
