WARNINGS!

Fri Jun 8 12:53:44 UTC 2007

Hi Jack,

Thanks for your advice, which I tried, but got an error message on the 
first build-dep line as follows:

maurice at MAURICE:~$ sudo apt-get build-dep glade3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree      
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to find a source package for glade3
maurice at MAURICE:~$

My conclusion is that I must have not edited /etc/apt/sources.list 
correctly. (I did do a reload after uncommenting one deb-src line).  
Here's what I have:

# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

Can you see any obvious error(s)?
