Follow the README.
I've build .deb for nx and freenx without any problem, the most diffucult part 
was to learn how .deb are built.
I don't understand where is the difficulty to follow what is written in the 
doc....
If you had looked the archive before asking, you had seen that I've posted an 
URL to my .deb, the 2007/06/15 20:45 for the nx libs.

Again, I find the installation of freenx *trivial*, Fabian has made a good job 
for that.
