I would like to modify the sources and understand the pacman code. so compiling the sources is a necessary. >You probably need the gettext development package installed. I have installed the gettext package version 0.8.1.1-3ubuntu1 and it compiles the files in the **pacman/lib/libalpm/po** directory. Thank you for the info. But the make file reports error in **pacman/src/util** directory. $ make make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/user/tmp/pacman' Making all in lib/libalpm make[2]: Entering directory `/home/user/tmp/pacman/lib/libalpm' Making all in po make[3]: Entering directory `/home/user/tmp/pacman/lib/libalpm/po' make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/user/tmp/pacman/lib/libalpm/po' make[3]: Entering directory `/home/user/tmp/pacman/lib/libalpm' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/user/tmp/pacman/lib/libalpm' make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/user/tmp/pacman/lib/libalpm' Making all in src/util make[2]: Entering directory `/home/user/tmp/pacman/src/util' CCLD testpkg ../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `MD5_Init' ../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `MD5_Final' ../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `SHA256_Init' ../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `SHA256_Update' ../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `MD5_Update' ../../lib/libalpm/.libs/libalpm.so: undefined reference to `SHA256_Final' Seems like MD5 related library has to be installed. I do not know which one to install. I was expecting ./configure scritpt to report about these required libraries. Br, Talespin
