I have a problem: Ubuntu Build Instructions
I did all the instructions but eventually tells me I have the following
code:
sudo apt-get install python-dev ccache libgraphite-dev \
libwpd8-dev libxslt-dev libdb4.7-dev libhunspell libneon27-dev-dev-dev
libaltlinuxhyph
Where generates me an error saying that the package libdb4.7-dev is not
available, but some other package refers to it. This may mean that the
package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another
source.
1. What should I do?
Adjust the package names to what the system can provide:
According to [1] the name of the libdb development package for Ubuntu
10.4 (aka "Lucid Lynx") seems to be "libdb4.3-dev".
[1] http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=libdb
2. What are the possible causes of this?
Package names change depending on the Ubuntu/Debian/etc. release. IMHO
it would have been better if the build instructions were written in a
more generic way, e.g.
apt-get install libdb-dev
works too. I'm not sure when this apt-get feature was introduced though.
On the other hand
apt-get install libneon-dev
requires an interaction with the generic package name because it is a
virtual package backed by several real packages. Anyway, I changed the
wiki page [2] for more independence from the Ubuntu version.

3. Shortness requirements to install?
I don't understand this question. Could you rephrase it?
Hope that helps,
Herbert
