(Not quite answering your question, but:) Often I see people asking this question while they are unaware that there exists a perfectly integrated Debian package just with the software they are trying to install -- as in this case: there *is* a ready-made postfix Debian package. So before installing a program from sources, you should try: $ apt-cache search <program name> and: $ apt-cache show <program name> Never mind if you already knew that. Greetings, joachim
