VisualBoy Advance and Gnomeboy

[puzzledm]

I installed VisualBoyAdvance via ./configure, make and sudo make install (I forgotten what you call that method!) and then installed GnomeBoyAdvance (which is the frontend for the above) via a .deb file and dpkg ...

However during installation it said visual boy advance was required and is therefore not seeing that I have installed it. How do I make the two play nicely together?

You will need to either install both from .deb, or neither. So compiling GnomeBoyAdvance will help.

You could also look at checkinstall to create .deb packages from make install.
