I'm not familiar enough with Linux and APT to figure this one out:
what are the prerequisites for 9vx that are not intrinsically met by a
standard UBUNTU installation?  The immediate need is related in some
way to x11-draw, but that is not the name of an apt package.

You may wish to install the apt-file package, then you could do
apt-file search x11-draw in order to know which package provides it.

In addition to what has been already said, if you need virtual
ethernet devices you will need libpcap-dev in order to build 9vx with
pcap support.

Now, that's a piece of useful information, thank you.  APT is so
unhelpful regarding trying to get any information out of it.

Plz do try the http://werc.homelinux.net/hacks/nano9/ as well. I'm sure
it will definitely save your time.
