Gee, I just luv broken packages AND configure scripts. That error turned
out to be autopoint was still at 0.18.1whatever. And autopoint is
SUPPOSED to be part of GNU_gettext, but for some reason is packaged
separately. The same apt-get syntax (thank you) that updated gettext,
also worked for autopoint, so that error is gone, but the make bailed
out for lack of a libgeda/colors.h. And that I don't believe is
debian's problem.
There are no doubt, other things in wheezy-backports that synaptic isn't
showing me despite having that defined in /etc/apt/sources.list.
Maybe even updated gEDA packages I am trying to build since the wheezy
versions cannot even interchange data files between gshem and pcb.
How do I convince synaptic to show them to me? That certainly has to be
easier that poking around the back of the donkey with a sharp stick
trying to build the whole suite of programs that gEDA is. ;)
Thank you all;
Cheers, Gene Heskett
