Whenever you see instructions that involve tarballs, ./configure, and
make, you should first check that there's not a package already:
apt-cache sarch anjuta
Which shows that a package is already available in Ubuntu. You can see
more details by running:
apt-cache show anjuta
You can also see information about the packages at
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/anjuta
(where you can substitute "gutsy" for "hardy" or whatever, and
substitute "anjuta" for any package you desire.)
Unless you especially need a version that's not the one provided by
Ubuntu, you should then ignore all the tarball & make stuff and just:
aptitude install anjuta
This is the main reason i use a Debian-based distribution - the vast
range of available software. :-)
I also suggest ticking the "Submit statistical information" in System ->
Administration -> Software Sources -> Statistics, so that Ubuntu get
information about the fact that you've installed and used that package.
This will help them make good decisions about which packages are
important to their users.
