Package Grouping, Development Libraries and Headers.

[Dale Weber <robotguy@hybotics.com>]

	Greetings,

	I need to have development libraries and headers installed for certain 
packages and was told that package grouping would accomplish this. I am not so 
sure that is true and have serious doubts. Below is what I have for errors and 
the recipe I am trying to modify to get development libraries and headers 
installed.

	How can I accomplish what I need to do without doing a bunch of native 
builds just to get development libraries and headers?

	8-Dale
