The problem was, when I did this, the source has not been at the 
servers. To add to this, I normally use www.leo.org as my source for 
those things. This server is currently not available.

libraries which would automatically be fixed if I would compile it on 
the target machine.

My good luck is, it looks like that I found the sources at an Australian 
server.
