Seems you're on Debian. Haven't tried to compile 1.1.6x yet; but with
1.1.5fix2, I compiled on a fast computer via
$ deb-make && dpkg-buildpackage -B -rfakeroot
and installed the resulting .deb (around 3 MB in size) on a 486. I
don't know if the libc6 version difference between 2.2. aka potato and
testing/unstable aka woody/sid makes a difference today; if both
computers use the same branch (potato here), no problem.
On the delopment machine, you need the autoconf, automake, debmake,
(fakeroot,) and maybe some other dev-packages I can't make out right
now in the other dev stuff here, probably it's a good idea to have
kernel-headers-* around. Be sure you have the libforms* stuff on both
machines.

Nope, but I hope the above is of help.
