    I will post full instructions for doing this in the next day or two. It’s not too hard, but there are lots of little steps. In particular, there are some 32-bit library dependencies that aren’t packaged for the 64-bit version of Ubuntu, that you have to hand-install, and you need a 32-bit OS running somewhere to build the .deb package, since the original RPM is built for the 32-bit architecture.
