About a week ago, I wrote
Lots of other people chimed in with pointers to the development
package you needed, but no one mentioned a handy tool on the
Debian Web site for determining the answer to such questions. If
you're trying to compile something and run across a missing file,
you can use the search form at the *bottom* of
<http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages> to look for them -- be
sure to set the distribution field to frozen (if you want potato)
or unstable (if you want the latest and greatest) -- once potato
is actually released, stable would work fine. The search script
will return a list of packages that contain the file you searched
for; you can then download the relevant package with APT. (You
can search for just the file name, which might return several
packages, or for the whole path (if you know it), which should
only return one or two.)
I've actually copied the source code for both the search forms on
that page, as well as the ones for the bug tracking system, to a
local page on my system so I have a quick way of accessing various
search engines. I highly recommend doing so to anyone who might
be doing a fair amount of searching.
That search form should give you the answers you're looking for,
but in the interest of niceness:
CE> libIV.so
In devel/ivtools-dev. libIV.so.0.7.9 is in
devel/ivtools-interviews.
CE> libf2c.so.0
No such thing, but libf2c.so.2 and libf2c.so.2.1 are in the
devel/f2c package.
