how to compile gok packages
If you have the packages on Debian CDs/DVDs or are connected to the internet, then the best solution is to use apt-get to install packages.
If you just want to install packages manually, then you can place the package and all of its dependencies in one directory. Then cd to that directory, and run as root
# dpkg -i *.deb
compile gok packages
hi matt
will this install all the dependencies. for eg: i transfer all the dependencies of gok into a folder. then run the command dpkg -i gok 1.2.0-1.deb. will all the dependencies be installed automatically?

"dpkg -i gok 1.2.0-1.deb" will only attempt to install that one package, I think (go ahead and try it). To install dependencies automatically, you have to use apt-get, aptitude, or synaptic.
"dpkg -i *.deb" will attempt to install all packages in the current directory. I don't think you'll get any errors about dependencies if they are all in the current directory.
