Thanks for the attempt to help but as far as I can see the availability
of libgtest-dev is definitely not the problem since it is mentioned in
the Build-Depends and configure has just verified that
/usr/include/gtest/gtest.h is installed.  It is somehow the usage that
you need to compile gtest before using it on the build machine.

Thanks anyway

        Andreas.
