What, "apt-get -b source freeride" (1) or the installation of FreeRIDE (2)?

[Assuming you meant (1)]

It will only generate the file you got, but it depends on several other
packages you'd have to rebuild too:
	apt-get -b source libfox1.0
	dpkg -i libfox1.0*deb # installs doc, dev, dbg packages too
	apt-get -b source libfxscintilla1
	dpkg -i libfxscintilla*deb # install -dev too
	apt-get -b source libripper-ruby
	dpkg -i libripper-ruby*deb
...etc...

You might be luckier with apt-build but I don't really know if that will
work 100% right.

That's because you should *really* be using apt-get.

Let me insist on that: unless you want to download all the dependencies
(libfox1.0, libfox-ruby, freeride-base1.6, libfxscintilla1...) by hand,
simply use apt-get.

Please try:
  1) add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://lsed.sourceforge.net/ruby/ debs/
  2) 
	apt-get update
  3)    
	apt-get install freeride
and tell me if the dependencies are resolved.

It should work, tell me otherwise. But if you go with 'dpkg -i', you'll
have to first install the following packages:
	libfox1.0
	libfxscintilla1
	libfox-ruby
	freeride-base1.6
	libripper-ruby
	ruby
perhaps something more I forgot...
