Dependency: libc6.  I tried installing a bunch of various apt-get
you-name-it-and-i-tried-it, thinking it would kick in at some point.
Well, it didn't.

Feisty (or Gutsy, having read your later e-mail) is probably not as bang-up-to-date on the libraries as librdf0.deb requires. It is certainly the case in Debian that one needs to be willing to reach into the less stable (or newer) releases in order to get a painless installation.

The latest Debian package declares it wants libc6 2.7, which I see Gutsy does not have by default. If you want the deb package, you'll have to go beta.

So, then I thought I could build it locally, because that's how I've
gotten a handful of other libraries to work.  After getting the
source, installing all the dependencies, and finally running
./configure - I get a "Cannot Find makefile.in" error and it halts.
And I'm not sure how to get it to create a makefile.in

More than likely, you have a CVS or other release, for which you must run autogen.sh. That will then make the appropriate files ready for ./configure to be run.
