I haven't actually tried it yet but shouldn't I be getting a pnee binary 
at least??

Henrik,

Thanks.  I'm trying a nightly_build now.  Getting further but doc 
generation still seems to be an issue.  Though it's probably something 
stupid on my part.

I have posted my build log here:  
http://www.bddebian.com/packages/debian/xnee/

I also stuck my debian/ dir up there if any of you want to take a look.  
It's kind of a work in progress because I keep playing with the 
configure options..

Thanks,

Barry deFreese (aka bddebian)
