Hi Hubert, Thanks for your reply. Quoth Hubert Chan, > Did you get the tarball from the mpg123 site, or did you get it from > Debian? Getting it from Debian is probably the best. Make sure your > sources.list has a correct deb-src line (mine has "deb-src > http://ftp.ca.debian.org/debian woody main contrib non-free"), and do > "apt-get source mpg123" (you can do this as a regular user).

Once I had fulfilled the build depenencies (needed to get some alsa libs, so it could compile the alsa version, even though I wanted to use it), it compiled into a deb without a problem. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches Criminologist/Linux Geek | As my head fell in the basket, http://killfilter.com | And was everybody dancing on the casket...
