It installed quite a few libraries (mostly ending with -dev)

Do I need to make this file into a executable file (like a script?)

Could you please tell me _what_ the correct name for the checkinstall
program is, as 'apt-get install checkinstall' tells me there is no
package by that name.
As you can tell from my questions I don`t really should have laid my
hands on Debian, its me who is at fault not the Debian-distro :-)
but I have played around with a few distros so far, but I liked Debian
still the most, even for a complete dummy like myself.
Well slowly I get the box to where I want it to.
Thanks for your response :-)
