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

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

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

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

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

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

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