    Sometimes it just takes something simple like this showing the deps to make someone’s life a little easier. Thank you.

    git is now up to version 1.6.0.3. Also, I needed zlib1g-dev to complete compilation. I ended up with:

    aptitude install build-essential gettext zlib1g-dev
    wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.6.0.3.tar.gz
    tar xvzf git-1.6.0.3.tar.gz
    cd git-1.6.0.3
    ./configure
    make
    make install

    I found that running the following command installed all the relevant dependencies for me to get git up and running on Debian Lenny:

    aptitude build-dep git-core

    On a fresh Debian system I also needed to install the “zlibg1-dev” package.

    Use checkinstall on Debian instead of “make install”, it’s better :)

      I rarely build software from source thanks to apt, but checkinstall looks nice indeed, thanks for the info :)

    Thanx a bunch!
    why does it need this line: aptitude install build-essential gettext

    I checked the man page of gettext. it is not really obvious to me, why this is used to build git. Any how, like this it worked.

    So long, E
