You'll also need to install the linux-headers-<version> that matches your running kernel.
apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
I got build-essential w/o problems. Then I tried to get the headers, but I have a slight problem. It seems that the header package available at present is for 4.9.0.7 and I have the kernel 4.9.0.6 (I used an install DVD I downloaded a few months ago). Does it matter? Should I upgrade my kernel or just go ahead and install the newer headers?

Hi,
Thanks for the prompt reply. It was indeed my mistake to use plurals.
BTW as this is my first time here I would like to express my appreciation of the tremendous job you did by creating Devuan. I have been a long-time Ubuntu and Debian user, but now that I have an alternative I will never go back to them and systemd. Thanks!

Hi,
I have installed Devuan ascii (amd64) on one of my computers. Then I tried to compile a utility (partimage) and failed because no development tools (gcc, binutils, etc.) had been installed. Tried to get them using the package manager but the metapackage 'build-essentials' that I had used for installing the development tools in Debian was not found anywhere in the Devuan repos.
So how can the development tools be installed in Devuan ascii?
Suggestion: Include development tools in the software selection list shown at installation time.
