This doesn't have much to do with Debian/Ubuntu really, as they are just packaging code they got from FreeBSD. Poking the package source, they use a shell script to pull the sources from the FreeBSD CVS tree: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/glibc-bsd/trunk/ufsutils/debian/upstream.sh There is not a configure script (as many projects don't use one). At a glance, it looks like all you need to do is call make. See the Debian rules file, which covers the steps taken in the process of building the Debian packages: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/glibc-bsd/trunk/ufsutils/debian/rules I suspect you'll be able to find your way through that even if you're not familiar with Debian packaging. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abstainer, n.: A weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure. -- Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary"
