Hi, I've always having trouble with building tracker on debian.The problem is, that it tries to link something to the install-fs already, but it really should not (it would have succeeded if i ran dpkg-buildpackage as root!) [...] /usr/bin/make install-exec-hook make[5]: Entering directory `/home/m/src/tracker/tracker/src/libtracker' ln -fs /usr/lib/libmetatracker.so /usr/lib/libtracker.so ln: cannot remove `/usr/lib/libtracker.so': Permission denied make[5]: *** [install-exec-hook] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/home/m/src/tracker/tracker/src/libtracker' My preliminary fix for that is attached. Does this interferes with a 'normal' build? Another issue is, when using dpkg-buildpackage, configure is run only for the first time --- after that, no mor ./configure runs --- that leads to no build, because make distclean removes Makefiles which are not anymore created afterwards. I am not much familiar with Debian's build helpers, just a pointer. Rgds, Marcus
