In Debian, you would need to install libpopt-dev (see below)

	   - Jim Van Zandt


Package: libpopt-dev
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: devel
Installed-Size: 56
Maintainer: Joseph Carter <knghtbrd at debian.org>
Source: popt
Version: 1.5-0.1
Replaces: popt
Depends: libc6-dev, libpopt0 (>> 1.4-1)
Conflicts: popt
Description: lib for parsing cmdline parameters - development files
 Popt was heavily influenced by the getopt() and getopt_long() functions,
 but it allows more powerful argument expansion. It can parse arbitrary
 argv[] style arrays and automatically set variables based on command
 line arguments. It also allows command line arguments to be aliased via
 configuration files and includes utility functions for parsing arbitrary
 strings into argv[] arrays using shell-like rules.
 .
 This package contains the popt static library and header file.
