Try this link: http://www.opennms.org/documentation/InstallUnStable.html#preparing-for-install

Ubuntu is a Debian-based distro.

thank you for the reply this is my first day first post on ubuntuforums and ur my first friend here with first reply

i think i was not clear in my query my exact problem is with using the .dbg files being created as output of make with GTNetS Example programs.
now i am trying to use the .dbg files so as to see and analyze the output

thanks & regards

You've tried installing 'nms-dbg' which is not in the repositories. The link above explains how to get it.

PS: Welcome to the forums :~).
