Hello everyone.

I use Ultimate++ on my Windows Machine, yesterday I wanted to give it a try on my virtual linux machine, but I didn't get it running, hope anyone can help me?

I have Linux Mint Debian, which uses Debian Repositorys. I updated to the latest version and tried the following things:

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

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)

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.

Well, I gave up then... but I definitely WANT Upp on my VM.
Can you guys help me and give me some hints?

Help would be very appreciated.
So thanks in advance and greets.
Nil
