1) Add the debian repository to the sources.list, as mentioned here: http://upp.invothink.com/release/README
-> I end up in an '500 Server internal error' when I do apt-get update

I didn't test the repository nor the instructions or anything else then debian, so it might need some fixes to make it work on the derived distros. I suspect that 'lsb_release -sc' returns something else on Mint than on debian. Could you please try to run

lsb_release -a

and post the result here?

You can also try to supply the distro in step 1) manualy (assuming that Mint is based on Debian Wheezy)

 echo "deb http://upp.invothink.com/release wheezy main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/upp-release.list

2) I tried the Ubuntu .deb. First it says something is incompatible. Then I tried it again, the 'install package' button as available, but again something happened (can't remember exactly, was late last night)

It is quite probable that the dependencies couldn't be solved. Ubuntu often uses different versions of libraries than Debian...

3) I decided to download the source and compile it myself. So I downloaded the tarball, extracted it and typed 'make' in the terminal. Result: Error in a Ctrl.h file (can't remember which) which tells me my X11 xfs.h (or similar) is missing. Did a 'find / -name xfs.h', can't be found on my system.

This looks like you miss some of the development pacakges for libraries that TheIDE depends on on linux. You should install them first, this should be enough:

apt-get install libx11-dev libxft-dev libpng12-dev libbz2-dev libgtk2.0-dev libnotify-dev

Let me know if you need some further assistance. I sincerely hope that you can make the Debian repository work for you, it should be the easiest way. I will also update the README file to fit better for derived distributions as well.

Best regards,
Honza
