Re: Unable to build Gnome apps with Ximian Gnome and Debian2.2r3

["James Hamilton" <JAMESH davistl com>]

Anyone, please help... I just need to know how to install the devel 
packages for Debian.  I don't seem to be able to find them.  As far 
as I can tell, there are devel packages for Red Hat, but not 
Debian.

Is this correct, or did I overlook something?

Why are there  Ximian devel rpm packages for Red Hat but not 
devel deb packages for Debian?  

If someone could give me an apt-source, that would be great.  I 
guess I could install RPM, but it seems silly that Ximian went to 
the trouble of making deb  packages for the apps but not the 
development files.  I was happy I could use dselect instead of 
Red Carpet, since I have a lot of Debian boxen and 
dselect/dpkg/apt provides a standard remote interface to 
maintain packages on all the systems.

I have three machines I admin and one machine I provide tech 
support for with Ximian Gnome on them, currently.  

Is there any way I can purchase a small support contract(
one-time  issue or five days long or something)from  Ximian, w/o 
buying the CDs?  After all, I don't need the CDs and this is  
really the only show-stopper I seem to be  having with this stuff.  
It is all pretty clean and very beautiful.  

Btw, Jeffrey:
Thanks for all your prompt replies. 


TIA,
James
