Yes, GIT is installed. I belive that it is not repo it self but that
lib32readline5-dev is related to the problem. As far as I understand
it is needed if you run on a AMD 64 bit arch but I'm running
Virtualbox + Ubuntu on my Intel Centrino Duo laptop so I'm a bit
confused. When looking in /proc/cpuinfo it states:
- model: 15
- model name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU [email protected]
- stepping: 2
- cpuid level: 2
- clflush size: 64

When running $sudo apt-get install lib32readline5-dev it say there is
no such package, but http://packages.ubuntu.com states differently.
Any idea on how to fix this?
