I couldn't find this but found a debian directory with all the stuff to
make a .deb

Okay, I added these for testing/woody in addition to stable.
apt-get source libgnome-dev
This gave me version 1.2.13-4 which is good. It wouldn't build.
apt-get install xpm4g-dev
It is built finally.(It's big)

What do I do now? Do I package it some how so I can install it? Of
course it has a make install target.
Use a ./configure --prefix=PATH and install it via make install
somewhere else?
When you don't know a process - it stinks. Maybe you know of some
documentation for Debian development.
Anyway, thank a ton for getting me this far.
