For future reference: Always start with `apt-get build-dep packagename` Whenever you are trying to build a newer version of some software that debian also packages. There is no reason to start from zero and have to discover this information for yourself one build error at a time. If you want to see what the `build-dep` list is without actually running `build-dep` try `apt-cache showsrc packagename`

Much appreciated - found that (build-dep) out the hard way before checking back here (issue updated for others)... and thanks to the showsrc tip.
