Thanks for the answers I used to go the configure/make/make install path everytime back in the 90s when I was a Linux-only user. I hopeI could dust the rust of some of that all skills ;)
So, I'll get myself a fresh piece of Ubuntu and download the source . .I guess I should blog about it to spread some information about how to do it (if there are no documents in the wiki already of course?)
