I warn you again though, this is not a good idea. You'd be better off downloading the tarball from the developers' web site and compiling it that you would by trying to use apt to pull in a package from sarge. The packages there are old, and have very different dependencies. Joe - --
Thanks Joe.Yeah I know. My argument would be that I'm tired of sepnding every evening and weekend trying to install things. I *could* rant about that, but instead I think I will log my experiences and turn it into a guide.
If i use a tarball, i have to wait for an error message, go get a dependancy, try again, get another, try again... and this is fine by all developers minds. To mine it is not. There is a problem.
Bet you'd all be shocked if I came up with the perfect solution ;-)
