This answers the question, but it is not the right way(tm) to the solution. dpkg -S will only show what package a file belongs to if that package is already installed. A better answer would be: A short search on http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents would have turned out: He needs libgtk1.2-dev. It is always a better idea to show people the door, and let them go through by themselves (Yes, I know I sound like my mother). joerg -- Gib GATES keine Chance! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
