Downloading youtube videos with youtube-dl
Problem:
I wanted to download lots of youtube videos, but I did not want to do so by my usual watch and download method.
Solution:
youtube-dl is a small command-line program to download videos from YouTube.com and a few more sites.
A short feature list of things you can do.
1. You can download entire playlists.

I was trying to install FLTK on 64bit debian and was installing one of the prerequisites gdb when I got the following error
