Re: [Pan-users] Version 0.91 impressions

[DPA]

I suspect that many of the dependencies you are talking about are just 
to build the application.  Since MEPIS is debian based I have a deb that 
may work for you.  This deb was built for Ubuntu (Dapper and Breezy) but 
I also tried it on Debian Unstable and it worked fine so I suspect it 
should work for you, if you would like me to email it to you drop me a 
note off list and I will send it to you.  I also sent it to Charles to 
evaluate so it may become publicly available, but I want to let him make 
that call first.
