	First check our the packages. I find there are is a netcfd-bin
	package.

	You might want to look at:

	I find the first thing I do when I want to install a program is
	to always check to see if there is already an existing Ubuntu
	or Debian package. If there is, I install that and stop wasting
	my time trying to build it from scratch.
