You need that packages for compiling a SW that need something from X11.

That is unlikely, if installing the devel packages do not solve your problem, pleas let us know which version of autoconf you use. > mjpegtools_1.6.1-1_i386.deb > which i downloaded from sourceforge. I have one unmet dependency: Please use the 1.6.2 and try it again. The 1.6.1 is rather old. > mjpegtools depends on libsdll.2debian (>= 1.2) > ...not installed. Which sdl packages do you have installed ? Maybe you need to install some SDL packages, or your version is to old. auf hoffentlich bald, Berni the Chaos of Woodquarter Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] www: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~gz/bernhard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
