Compiling problem under Debian or Lubuntu.

[han-k59]

The compiling doesn't work under Debian Lubuntu. See attached. Maybe you could update the compile instruction to fix this. See attached.

compiling sextractor.txt

Note:
Probably an very old story but the the name and extension ".sex" is horribly chosen. The executable is distributed with Debian but is called: source-extractor

Hi @han-k59
the reason is, your system is missing the fftw3-dev package. Here is the complete list of packages needed for compiling SExtractor on Ubuntu:
autoconf libtool make libatlas-base-dev fftw3-dev libcfitsio-dev.
