Hi Gabriela, that is good. My build was done of Fedora, but an Ubuntu build should be the same. Maybe change the heading to Linux?
I think the dependent libs required are just the devel versions, not both? And on Ubuntu a user would install them via the command "sudo apt-get install xxx" and on Fedora via "sudo yum install xxx I also think the section under Automated Testing needs attention https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Corinthia/Automated+testing And somewhere we need a quick note on how to run and convert a document. I still do not know how/if I can generate and ODF document, Thanks for your update. I would edit the page myself, I have a cwiki account, but do not seem to have edit rights?
