[Chandler-dev] building chandler on unbuntu 6.06

[Andi Vajda]

I got it to build and work after installing a bunch more packages such as 
various dev tools packages, gtk, gtk+, zlib, and more. To do a full build, I 
needed to install the -dev variant of these packages. It's pretty simple to 
figure out and synaptic is very easy and convenient to use to download 
packages.

While I was able to build all with gcc/gcj 4.1.1 built from sources, chandler 
crashes pretty quickly and PyLucene unit tests don't pass. It's unclear that 
the crasher is due to PyLucene as it is not much involved until indexing in 
the background. The crasher happens during what looks like the first commit.

After reverting to gcc/gcj 3.4.6 built from sources and building everything 
again, all works just fine. I don't know if it's ubuntu but chandler looks 
really ugly on it, fonts are all messed up, ugly and too big.

For those considering ubuntu for their desktop, seeing ubuntu and os x side by 
side, on the same computer, ubuntu running inside the parallels vm on intel os 
x, shows that ubuntu still needs a lot of work. Fonts are really ugly. Ubuntu 
UIs are suffering from the usual linuxisms. Still, the ubuntu install went 
flawlessly and when compared to all other linux installs I've ever done, this 
is the best and easiest ever, by far.
