I'm using Libranet 2.8.1, which is quite up to date, being testing/sid mix.
Compiler is gcc3.2. And, as I said, I installed over the former rc2 debs,
so the older libs are still present. So these may work or not on a box
without the older debs installed.

For each package I did the following:

# ./configure --prefix=/usr
# make
checkinstall -D --install=no
dpkg -i --force-overwrite xf*.deb

I tried
dpkg -i xf*.deb
but in several cases it failed because of the need to overwrite stuff 
from the old packages.

Consider these alpha, test at your own risk, all other caveats apply!

Here is the url, on my home box, so if it's slow, Sorry!:
