eh. Why not use the debian scripts they've been nice enough to
provide? :) Really, I've been using them for a while. Makes things
nice and easy. Install the dpkg-dev package if you need it, check
the config file debian/rules in the lame source tree, then run
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc Works great except for a few hackish
things I've had to do with a few odd configure options, but I may be
able to help with that if you get to it. Also, I'd reccommend
sticking with the latest versions. They've been adding and tweaking
things constantly, and haven't ever managed to break anything that
I've noticed. :)

Odd. Never seen that before.

Stupid question: got write access to the build directory?
