In Debian, you can pretty much rely on library packages being called lib*
and development packages ending with dev. If I'm searching for one of these,
I'd try 'apt-cache search lib gnome dev' (which actually returns quite a

Hi all,
Does anyone know of any terminal emulation packages (other than xterm) ?
I've got a QNX 2 network and can only use telnet to get into it.
Naturally enough, when I log into QNX, xterm will run OK in VT102 mode
but I have to tell qnx to talk to me in VT102 mode and in doing that I

Trying to compile the multi-gnome-terminal application which looks
really useful for cutting down on screen clutter.
I'm using Ximian Gnome and Potato and it seems there are even more
libraries missing for compiling new apps.

Sounds like xlib6g-dev is not installed, which is about right, because the
