I'm more or less new to linux. I don't understand how exactly I can do this.
I could unpack the rpm with rpmextract, but when I start theide it can't find the examples and the libraries path. So, how can I get it right?
Can you please provide a mini-tutorial showing which package to download and which commands to type to get U++ installed?

Thank you

EDIT: It seems I got it installed by unpacking to /usr and running theide.
The problem now is that I can't compile any U++ project.
The compiler can't find "bits/atomicity.h".

Well, quick instructions to manual install of .deb package in rpm distro.... not tested but should work well.

1) extract from .deb the file 'data.tar.gz'. .deb files are just archives, so it's quite easy.
2) put 'data.tar.gz' on root folder (/) and unpack it, as a superuser :
     tar -xzf data.tar.gz
that should recreate the correct folder three. If you use SVN packages, it will put sources in /usr/share/upp-svn/..., the binary in /usr/bin/theide-svn, and so on.
3) Launch theide-svn executable; it will prompt and ask if you want to copy files in user path. Just say OK and accept the default, or change it if you like.

On updates, simply repeat all above steps.
As told above, for svn packages the executable is named 'theide-svn', the default user folder is ~/upp-svn. That allows to have svn, (future) devel and (future) stable releases together.
