As ever, I learn from this: I didn't know apt-file. Got it, installed it, used it:
root@DebianAdvent:/home/chris/Downloads/gmp-6.1.2# apt-file search jni.h android-libnativehelper-dev: /usr/include/android/nativehelper/jni.h android-platform-frameworks-native-headers: /usr/include/android/android/asset_manager_jni.h android-platform-frameworks-native-headers: /usr/include/android/android/native_window_jni.h gcj-6-jdk: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/6/include/jni.h gcj-6-jdk: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-6-amd64/include/jni.h libavcodec-dev: /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec/jni.h libgluegen2-build-java: /usr/share/gluegen2/make/stub_includes/jni/jni.h openjdk-8-jdk-headless: /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/include/jni.h I was 99% sure I already had that last installed. Sure enough: root@DebianAdvent:/home/chris/Downloads/gmp-6.1.2# apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk-headless Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done openjdk-8-jdk-headless is already the newest version (8u181-b13-2~deb9u1). openjdk-8-jdk-headless set to manually installed. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Anyone else got any ideas?

I have "semigrated" to France, see: https://www.psyctc.org/pelerinage2016/semigrating-to-france/ if you want to book to talk, I am trying to keep that to Thursdays and my diary is now available at: https://www.psyctc.org/pelerinage2016/ecwd_calendar/calendar/ Beware: French time, generally an hour ahead of UK. That page will also take you to my blog which started with earlier joys in France and Spain!
