how to install latest version of gtkevemon in ubuntu 9.10

I had some trouble compiling after doing the subversion checkout, but finally figured out which packages I was missing.

This is what worked for me, ran this from a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 desktop installation:
$ sudo apt-get install subversion libgtkmm-2.4-dev libxml2-dev libxml2++2.6-dev
$ svn://gtkevemon.battleclinic.com/GTKEVEMon/trunk/gtkevemon
$ cd gtkevemon
$ make
$ cd src
$ ./gtkevemon

Then I was able to create an application launcher with this command:
‘/home/username/gtkevemon/src/gtkevemon’ (~ doesn’t work in launchers)

Not sure yet how to update it automatically when new branches are available, but at least this gets it running. Leave a comment if this didn’t work for you, and fly safe, it’s dangerous in space.
