I was wondering if this is possible. I am able to install nspr into CentOS;

yum install nspr-devel

I saw this is really only meant for for CentOS/RHEL/Fedora so note

http://pkgs.org/download/nspr-devel

Is there a way I can install this into the latest version of Debian with apt-get? If so, does any one have the step by step instructions?

Thanks

    Looks like libnspr4-dev is the package you want.

    I found it using apt-cache search:

    $ apt-cache search nspr
dnsproxy - proxy for DNS queries
libnspr4 - NetScape Portable Runtime Library
libnspr4-0d - NetScape Portable Runtime Library - transitional package
libnspr4-dbg - Debugging symbols for the NetScape Portable Runtime library
libnspr4-dev - Development files for the NetScape Portable Runtime library
python-nss - Python bindings for Network Security Services (NSS)

    Looks like it’s already in the Debian repositories, which means you don’t need to get it from elsewhere.

    You can see which version would be installed with apt-cache policy:

    $ apt-cache policy libnspr4-dev
libnspr4-dev:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2:4.9.2-1
  Version table:
     2:4.9.2-1 0
        500 http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ testing/main amd64 Packages

    If that’s OK, you can install it with apt-get install libnspr4-dev.

    If not, then you should check /etc/apt/sources.list to ensure that it lists a repository with the version you need.
