Oh, that's indeed a grave packaging fault. -dev packages should ship headers and maybe developer-specific documentation, but *required* binary plugins for running the GUI certainly should be part of the main gnunet-gtk package. > What is more even if you do install the dev package you must then manually > create symbolic links in /usr/lib to point to these objects as they are not > picked up, because they reside in /usr/lib/gnunet. Outch. Ok, thanks for the diagnostic, I'm sure our dear Debian maintainer will resolve this soon ;-). > So if you install the dev package and add the sym-links, the GUI GNS screen > allows you to add new GNS records: It then works correctly. > :-) -Christian
