also, if for some reason you don't know this already, in many cases to build a package there are what are called build dependencies. to get the required libraries/environment you may want to add the sources repository to your list in /etc/apt/sources.list and then do an update. then use: apt-get source pkg apt-get build-dep pkg and explore/play to your heart's content :) songbird
