Trisquel has an older version. If you want to build a newer one from source, running "apt-get build-dep basic256" should help: it will install dependencies hopefully working for the version that you want. > I've gotten as far as extracting > files into a new directory, but my attempts to run commands > like "configure" and "make" keep producing errors such as > "command not found". Read COMPILING.txt in that directory, it should help. (If there would be a configure script, you would use ./configure and then make.)
