Wichert,
	
	Maybe there is something wrong (other than the mmap problem that
Adam mentioned) in the way I am doing things. Here is what I do :

1.  autogen.sh
2.  configure (with --prefix set to ~/build)
3.  make
4.  make install
5.  export PATH=~/build/bin:~/build/sbin:$PATH
6.  dpkg-buildpackage -d -rsudo
7.  cd .. and then dpkg -i <deb that got built>

	Maybe this isnt the way I should bootstrap?

Thanks,
