Source code install, amd64, build failure w/ libsdl-pluto

[needlern32724]

My first post to these forums, sooooo, I'm a 9 year user of linux (RH-5.1 originally). Last 5 years with gentoo. Built a new box with an Asus-A8N-E (amd64) board a year and a half ago to install MythTV on. Got side tracked. Just discoverd LinuxMCE.

Downloaded the two kubuntu cd's and the 2 MCE cd's. Kubuntu installed perfectly. Tried many ways, though not yet the quick install dvd, to install mce. Could not get anywhere. Downloaded the source code and fired it up. Made it pretty far through, I think.

It bombs out here:

From the BuildUbuntu.sh script these lines surrounding line 81:

popd
I'm an utter noob to anything .deb, Any help or pointers appreciated. If I must, I will try the quick install dvd, though I would rather not.

TIA,
Bill

The build scripts currently are not made for the current 0704 or upcoming release. They will not work properly.

As for the problems with the quick install CD and DVDs, can you be more specific as to what happened?

Thanks for the reply, Thom. I've gone on and installed from the quick install dvd. I'm going to close out on this thread and post a new problem brought up by the dvd install.
