I should have provided this information the first time. Here are the unmet dependencies: $ debuild -us -uc dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: debhelper (>= 6.0.7~) autoconf automake libtool libgd2-xpm-dev | libgd2-noxpm-dev libsnmp-dev | libsnmp9-dev libusb-dev (>= 0.1.8) libhal-dev (>= 0.5.8) libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libglib2.0-dev libneon27-gnutls-dev | libneon26-gnutls-dev | libneon-dev | libneon27-dev | libneon26-dev libwrap0-dev (>= 7.6) dpatch debuild: fatal error at line 993: You do not appear to have all build dependencies properly met, aborting. (Use -d flag to override.) Based on this, can you give me some help on what to do? I'm still a little unclear.
