[R-sig-Debian] 'plm'/'kinship' package on Debian Etch?

[(Ted Harding)]

Hi Folks,
Has anyone got a compiled binary of the package 'plm'
and/or of the package 'kinship' for Debian Etch?

I'm asking because I'd like to install 'plm', but have
failed because it depends on 'kinship', and 'kinship'
refuses to compile on my Debian Etch.

The underlying reason is the Debian refuses to allow me
to install the development resources I need (going round
in circles with "... but it is not going to be installed"),
so I'm stuck!

Any help greatly appreciated.

With thanks,
Ted.
