Hi Simon,

Thanks for that.  Xandros being Debian based, I had assumed that the
'Xandros Networks' package manager was just a GUI for apt-get.
However this seems not to be the case.  I entered the command you
suggested and got:

/home/julian# apt-get build-dep xchat
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list

This seems to suggest source.list is empty, therefore Xandros Networks
must be using somethng else.  Odd to say the least.  I'm having a poke
around Google for some suitable source URIs to add to the .list file.

Any suggestions for know reliable sources would be welcome :)

Kind regards,

Julian
