how can i compile a program on debian i386 that builds on a 64-bit ubuntu?
 
i have a program that includes openAL and works on my 4-CPU tower ubuntu. The 32-bit version of openAL is missing a header, alut.h and where i touch the alut*() functions, my program won't compile. the i386 computer runs debian.

anybody know what i need to apt-get install on my debian laptop to get my test program working?

thanks for any help!

Hi Gary,

The Debian package providing /usr/include/AL/alut.h is called libalut-dev.

Code:
sudo apt-get install libalut-dev

I agree, the headers could be easier to find. On Debian/Ubuntu stuff is usually following the lib<whatever>-dev convention, though.
