Monit - Installation issues

Today, I started installing and using Monit   on Debian Squeeze system. Actually, this is the second time I use Debian system (the first time when I decided to switch to Debian from a long time using Fedora), so there are some issues I met when installing Monit.
  1. Repositories
    • I'm using these repos for testing server:
      • deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib
      • deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib
      • deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib non-free
      • deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib non-free
      • deb-src http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main contrib non-free
      • deb http://ftp.jp.debian.org/debian squeeze main
  2.  Dependencies
    • When building monit from source file, it requires you to install PAM and SSL libraries to support its functions.  If you don't want to install these functions, you can skip them from installing by specify appropriate options when configure. Executing ./configure -h for more details.
    • In this case, I want to install both PAM and SSL, the packages needed are: libssl-dev and libpam0g-dev
OK, if you can install it successfully, something like this will appear:
