Well, that was May, now it's December (cue Broadway hit

I don't know why it's taken me so long to get round to
implementing this solution when it turns out to be

The solution was to use apt to install aptitude and then
use aptitude to install the build-essentials. After that it
was all plain (and familiar) sailing.

No need for that now, though I was getting ready to do so.

Many thanks for the link Frank. I'm just sorry I didn't
follow it up sooner.
