Trying to use edebug to work on an emacs lisp library. I can effectively set breakpoints and break on them when I run the defun, unfortunately when I use i to step into something, I get the error:

Can't find library /usr/share/emacs/23.3/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-macs.el

It’s not lying, that library doesn’t exist, only the compiled version (.elc) exists. It was installed using:

apt-get install emacs23-nox

Any ideas on how to get it going?

    On a Debian-derived distro, the bare emacs23 package does not include the Elisp sources (nor any documentation, etc). To install them, sudo apt-get install emacs23-el
