No. Your problem is that you're (presumably) using edgy whereas I build for sarge (too old), etch (slightly too new) and unstable (also slightly too new), and I currently have no plans to build for Ubuntu releases. Given this, I think that it's best that you add a deb-src line for my archive, run 'aptitude update', install devscripts and build-essential, then: $ apt-get source foo $ cd foo-* $ sudo apt-get build-dep foo $ debuild binary $ sudo dpkg -i ../*.deb Be careful with that last line - you'll probably want to list specific package files. And dependency errors shouldn't be a problem either since you can use aptitude to install the missing packages and mark them as automatically installed. -- | Darren Salt | linux or ds at | nr.
