Re: apt-get source?



I did the apt-get source and it dropped the source in my current directory.
When I go to configure it doesn't build, missing "/root/qt/debian/objprelink"
and it doesn't get auto-configured to match the paths etc of my pre-packaged
version.

Thus spake brian r (randomaccess@canada-11.com):
