Hi gang.

I am a n00b and was wondering is anyone could give me some pointers on 
upgrading Gtk-gnutella-0.96.1 to 0.96.3.  I have no real idea about all 
this compiling stuff.  I have given it about a week worth of trying to 
make it happen but with no luck.

I have added backport repositorys, learnt about the difference between 
tar.gz, and tar.bz2 files, the difference between apt-get and aptitude. 
Done stuff like "sudo aptitude install build-essential" and the readme 
files as far as I could before hitting a wall or three, searched the web 
and ended up rather lost in it all.

I have spent ages at a terminal trying different things and still 
haven't quite got it.  I think I may have got as far as creating the 
configuration file but not actually creating the .deb file.

So it's not like I haven't given it *several* good whorls!

Could someone here be so kind as to give me a few pointers please.
Thanks for your time.
