I suppose that is it -- unfortunately there is *zero info* on repositories on the gnewsense site! But this is based on ubuntu 8.04 right, so I can guess I can just import packages from there. Altho that seems to defeat the purpose somewhat. > Are you perhaps looking for libglib2.0-dev?

If by "hard to find" you mean, not listed or unavailable, I guess hard it will be. Never had any problems like this on any other debian derived system I have worked on, and there have been a few. I'm a programmer and do a lot of source building, never had any problem finding dev libs with apt.
