checking for BASE_DEPENDENCIES... configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.12.0 atk >= 1.9.0 pango >= 1.12.0 cairo >= 1.2.0) were not met:
No package 'glib=2.0' found
No package 'atk' found
No package 'pango' found
No package 'cairo' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIB to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
Although Iceweasel is just the same without the Firefox name or logo.
Quote:
Due to Mozilla logos licensing, Mozilla software isn't DFSG-free, so Debian distributes Mozilla software with different logos. One day Mozilla Corporation decided to revoke the agreement to let Debian use Mozilla trademarks, so Debian changed to non-trademarked product names. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla...nded_in_Debian for more information.
You may also want to take a look at Swiftfox or Flock.
wouldn't enabling testing as a repo and then running aptitude install iceweasel work a lot easier when it comes to possible dependencies?
With the freeze in Lenny even sid isn't getting many packages moving into it. The OP wants firefox and not iceweasel because firefox has had 2 security updates recently and at this point iceweasel is lagging behind.
