If you really need them though, go read up on using 'deb-src' lines and 'apt-get source' to rebuild the sid package from source, using your existing libraries. -rob msg25308/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Compiler error: C compiler cannot create executables
This one time, at band camp, Achton N. Netherclift said: But when I get the error already when ./configure is run, could that mean that I am missing certain libraries? How do I figure out which ones? Yes, probably libc6-dev. I've run apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade several times and from different mirrors, but everything seems up-to-date. Only problem is this one dependency fault that I get when trying to install libc6-dev. Are you, by any chance, running a mixture of testing and unstable? It seems like you have sources for one version, and another version installed. Explicitly tell apt which version you want to install (or download and dpkg -i the right version). man apt-get for details - look for the -t switch, but do some general reading while you're there - there's a lot of useful stuff in it.
