In debian (I don't really know ubuntu), you have apt-file to search for a package's file:
apt-file search asoundlib.h

And a really great command is "auto-apt run" which installs automagically all needed packages for a given command. You can try:
auto-apt run ../unix/cmake/configure

when it detects a missing header, it will search the corresponding package and prompt you to install it.


I tried both tools but don't seem to work...I don't know why. They just do nothing. But anyway, I do it manually :)


you have to run�

apt-file update

in order to populate / refresh apt file cache.


Yes, exactly there was the problem...it couldn't update....start to loop and didn't find the files to download.
Let me try it again and I paste you the console if you want.
