Re: [gnome-love] Can't find header files

[Maya <escalante canada com>]

Thanks for your help Gustavo.
I did check the webpage suggested and tried to run the 'auto-apt....',  but for
some reason I get a message saying that the command was not found. I tried
installing it using 'apt-get' but it couldn't find it either.
Can you tell me where/how do I get this program?

TIA

The difference between a GRINGO and an AMERICAN is that the
AMERICAN believes that the name of his country is the name
of the continent his country is in, and the GRINGO... well
he is a US citizen who's stupid enough to believe it.
