OK so i followed this http://scratchbox.org/wiki/Apophis-r4 under 
Crocodile heading which allowed me to compile libidl and libidl-dev 
which are now both installed using dpkg -i. Going back to the 
libgtkembedmoz svn checkout and running dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot 
throws up another dependency issue with bc. apt-get install bc doesn't 
work. Anyone know where i can get this from?
