Can you post the exact error message?

On my RedHat box, "which" is a package on its ownm check if
the same is true of Debian.

I just checked the debian mirror on mirror.aarnet.edu.au and in the
/pub/linux/debian/dists/stable directory, I see Contents-i386.gz.

that tells me that /usr/bin/which (which is where which is on my
RedHat box) is :
usr/bin/which   base/debianutils

as it's in the base package, I'd be surprised if that is what your
compile is complaining about...  So post the exact message
and we can see what it is after.

For example, I note that there is a which in python, and the 
xbased kernel config might be using that.
