I hope this message reaches you; your own email address 
(ken@heard.name) is bogus, and I myself do not subscribe to the list.

This message is harmless, AFAIK it does not mean anything.

Now we are getting somewhere. It seems that you do not have some 
development libraries installed (necessary for compiling dosemu 
from source).

Please do

apt-get install xorg-dev
apt-get install libslang2-dev

and try to compile again. If there are any other errors, please 
tell about it on the list (in other words, don't say "it does not 
work", but tell what the error messages are). You sent a personal 
email to me twice; this is of course OK, but please, use a valid 
return address next time if you want an answer.
