need help getting a package installed in Debian

[mcveigh]

I am trying to setup a Jabber server and I need GNUpth installed.
i installed it via apt-get install libpth14
but the jabber ./configure script still says it's not there.

any ideas?

You need the -dev package to get the headers and .a files to link with.

well.. I got lazy

I found out it was in the testing tree. so I edited my etc/sources and did apt-get install jabber

thansk for the fast reply nothingman!

you wouldn't happen to know I can can start my jabber server at runlevel3 in debian? in RH I just used sysvinit

Debian uses runlevel 2 by default and the sysvinit system is otherwise pretty-much the same.
