I've moved to Debian Woody from RedHat
[...]
Any ideas on what I have to have installed on my Debian Woody system?
Pls find attached a slightly disorganized list of the -dev packages, as
well as the ./configure options I needed to compile from source on Debian
Woody 3.0. Modify mcpu to suit your processor type, etc..
========================================================
# ./configure 2>&1 | tee config_log.txt
# ./configure > config_log.txt 2>&1
CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=pentiumpro -Wall" LDFLAGS="-s" ./configure \
--with-tcltk-includes=/usr/include/tcl8.3/ \
--with-postgres-includes="/usr/include/postgresql/
/usr/include/postgresql/server/" \
--with-motif --with-motif-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \
--with-freetype --with-freetype-includes=/usr/include/freetype2/ \
--with-blas --with-blas-libs=/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/3.0.4/ \
--with-lapack --with-glw \
--with-dbm \
--with-readline \
2>&1 | tee config_log.txt
$> make
#> make install
## N.B. Tcl 8.4 is out..
(those two postgresql includes are on the same line, separated by a space)
The following gets pretty much everthing config'd in for me with a stock
installation of the current (feb 2002) Debian Woody 3.0. Any packages I
already had installed, well add them too- but I don't know what they are.
I have not shifted any files or set up any special links that I can think
of.
Some of these packages may not really be needed..
.deb Package Provides..

g77-3.0 for BLAS (& lapack as well??)
f2c for BLAS (libf2c) unneeded?
I guess you normally don't ever need to install stuff from tar-balls in
Debian, so a lot of the development stuff isn't included by default.

Once there was a Grass/Debian howto page, although it wasn't working when
I needed it last.
g'luck!
