Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

You can do a little of both, actually (assuming that you have the appropriate deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list):
apt-get build-dep xchat#fetch the build dependencies apt-get source -b xchat#download the source, build xchat, and create deb package(s)

Here's the error I receive:

That's a fatal error? Odd; I've seen similar errors before and they weren't.
As to how you'd go about resolving it, I don't know.

This is just a warning. X-Chat still compiles even with this particular warning. I just compiled x-chat under CVS, and it worked fine even with this warning.
Re: Re: Can't compile XChat on Debian Sarge (Perl problem?)
Thanks folks. I'm able to compile XChat using Ironi's method. I receive a recursive error "pixmaps.o" when I try compiling 2.4.1 using the source from Xchat.org. That's okay, though, since Ironi's method worked like a charm.

It will not compile on my machine if I used the source from XChat.org. While I'm able to still use make install afterwards, nothing happens--meaning nothing installs.
