Thanks. I'm not familiar with debian as you can see. Is there an easy way for me to figure out what the dependencies are for a given package and whether they are recommended or essential?

We don't do much of this, but we have used

http://ctrax.sourceforge.net/
http://jaaba.sourceforge.net/

I think the approach is pretty general, but the it would be worth talking to the developers at early stage if someone wanted to try a new class of animal/setup.

Thanks again,

Greg.
