Compiling Jahshaka on Edgy


I recently heard about Jahshaka, actually from these forums, and i checked out the website, and it seems like a pretty sweet graphics editor. I tried downloading it, and it only downloads the source file. I found a script on the website to install Jahshaka from source, but it requires ubuntu Dapper on X86, and I run Ubuntu Edgy, and I don't have x86. i think it's i386? I gave it a go to see if it worked anyways, and it didn't.
Anyways, after reading every HOW-TO on the planet, the closest thing i found was a link on the Jahshaka website for a German website [which i had translated using online website translator] and it's for compiling Jahshaka for Debian. After trying that out, a few of the Debian packages that i had to download were not compatible with Ubuntu.
It's difficult bc Jahshaka is still so new, so not a lot of info is out there yet, but any help on compiling this with Ubuntu would be great. The website is Jahshaka.org.
Any tips, insight, or ideas would be great! =)

How about posting the errors you're getting when you try to compile the code?

I don't really know how to compile code, but Jahshaka provides a script that can be run that compiles the code for Ubuntu users, but it does not work with my version. All it says is "only compatible with x86 architecture" when i run the script. and the instructions that i found in German is for Debian- i tried it anyways, but a few of the packages that are suggested do not work with Ubuntu- it just said i didn't have the package dependencies installed, when clearly i did. This is common for .deb files that are not Ubuntu-compatible.

I assumed from the title of your post you were trying to compile the package. In any event, are you receiving any error messages that you can post?

BTW, compiling code isn't hard...it's fixing the errors when they occur that can be difficult.
