> Jim, > Why don't you follow this, it seems sensible? Well, simply following the first advice and adding the libxml2-dev package (the non -dev already being present) didn't work. So I'm trying to establish which packages I *do* need (or not). Partly so I understand, partly to avoid spraying things I don't actually need into my install in the hope they'll work. However the list from the github... /unix page seems a good runner, so I'll try that unless someone tells me it'll not work, and why. :-) (That said, I use gip by command line: Does that means I don't need *all* the items the apt install listed? If so, which ones don't I need?) It also means I can look to see if the same packages can be got via synaptic as that's my usual way to install distro packs. I can note this down for when I update my othe machines. (I'm migrating four from the old distro to the new one.)
