Bulding 3.0.1 Under Ubuntu 10.04 i386

[Robert Wolfe]

I am installing in under the Linux version of VirtualBox.  Did you want the link to the DEBs I built for libdivecomputer and subsurface?

I could not get 12.10 to work in any reasonable way in a KVM virtual machine. I'll get out the laptop that I installed it on the other day and try there as well.

I was told, however, in an earlier email not to build against the git repo.  However, if someone would like to test the .deb file other than myself, I would be more than happy to provide the .deb file for downloading from my end.
