[PLUG] Perils of building from source?

[Eric <eric@lucii.org>]

Happy New Year to all!

I'm building some software from source code ( Kompozer: nvu spin-off 
which is a Mozilla Composer spin-off ).  I'm doing this because I 
installed it from the package (apt-get install kompozer) but the darn 
thing crashes at the slightest provocation. 

What is the recommended way to do this in Ubuntu?  Should I uninstall 
the binary package first?


UGH....  Now as I'm writing this email the compile fails.  This command:

c++ -o mozilla-xremote-client  -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall 
-Wconversion -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth 
-Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -DDEBIAN 
-fshort-wchar -pthread -pipe  -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -O  
mozilla-xremote-client.o XRemoteClient_standalone.o       
-L../../../dist/bin -L../../../dist/lib 
-L/usr/local/src/kompozer-0.7.10/mozilla/dist/lib -lplds4 -lplc4 -lnspr4 
-lpthread -ldl -lc -lpthread    -ldl -lm     

produces this string of errors:

I've added all the packages I could determine that I needed:
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
apt-get install libidl-dev
apt-get install libxt-dev

Anybody see what I'm missing here?

Perhaps I should just buy Dreamweaver ? (barf)


TIA
