[ale] HELP, please -> after 45min compile, mozilla0.96 halts on error :-(

[Mazukna, Thomas]

You should not need to compile anything on a Debian system.
I am running unstable, but if you are on "stable" you may want to add
unstable to your apt.sources
here is how I get *misc* soft on my machine:
aptitude (a very nice util to search through available debs that *YOUR*
machine sees)
   ( in case you do not have it ... apt-get install aptitude )
once in aptitude do a search for mozilla.

apt-get install mozilla-XxxxxX-V.V

Why not just install zip? On my SuSE system it is part of an rpm

rpm -qf `which zip`
zip-2.3-158

should be able to apt-get it for debian I would imagine...
