Hello Ray,

This is a classic example of why maintaining software is difficult in 
Linux.. everyone distro seems to want a different name for the same 
package.  Regardless, what you have on your Rpi seems Ok.

I'll try compiling it on my Rpi too (it's running F6BVP's version of 
Raspian which is based on Wheezy).
