Forgive my ignorance. Having a little trouble building on debian.

installing the libmozjs-dev package should fix it.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and found these WIKI notes[1] useful.  
Obviously Debian is a different beast but there may be some tidbits in  
here. I ending up blowing away and reinstalling macports and then  
building it all from scratch.

A big thanks to davisp, janl, and all those on the ml for all the  
comments, notes, etc.. and taking the arrows on this. I reckon it  
saved me half a day, beers are owed :)
