Bibledit 4.1 on Ubuntu 9.10
It is assumed that a standard installation of the operating system is used.
Connect to the installation media.
Start the Synaptic Package Manager through menu System / Administration.
In the Package Manager, install the following list of packages, with their additional required changes:
build-essential libgtk2.0-dev libsqlite3-dev libxml2-dev git-core libenchant-dev libgtkhtml3.14-dev rcs libgtksourceview2.0-dev libwebkit-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev curl apache2 php5 libsoup2.4-dev texlive-xetex mysql-server php-gettext php-imap
Installation of mysql-server asks for the password for the root database administrator. If you would enter 'root' for that, then Bibledit would work with that out of the box.
When through, open a terminal by clicking Applications, Accessories, Terminal.
