No, apart from the very first paragraph which says:

  If you are using Debian Linux or RedHat Linux or a distribution based
  on one of these, you might prefer to install one of the prepackaged
  Linux versions.

Installing the debian package of something is the "debian way".

There is no "remove_subnets.c", but anyway those are harmless.  The
pointer being cast comes from malloc() so is suitably aligned for any
target type.  I've not spotted how to avoid them though.

Don't bother - once the compile has hit an error, you typically get an
avalanche of useless errors, which is what this will be.  For example:

> a type.

The problem is that Double is a typedef for GLdouble, but that typedef
failed because GLdouble wasn't defined because you're missing the GL
headers.

The problem is you don't have the GL dev packages installed, and sending
me logs won't fix that.
