Scrivener for Linux 2.4 beta

Originally published at An Experimental Life. You can comment here or there.

EDIT: While the .deb I built installed and works just fine on my 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10, some others have had problems with it. If that includes you, download the package built by JG Starsoupsky at http://www.handsomeplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/scrivener_0.2.4.... His deb should install via Ubuntu's software center for 32-bit systems, but to install it on a 64-bit you'll need to run the command:
sudo dpkg -i --foreign-architecture i386 scrivener_0.2.4_i386.deb

Download link at the bottom (or if you're reading this on LJ, go to my blog). This is the most recent Scrivener for Linux beta, which I've packaged into a .deb. Ubuntu (or similar) software center will now install it with a simple double-click, and it should work for both 32 and 64 bit systems. This beta will expire on June 30, 2011, by which time another will be available. See my post at http://robhamm.com/legacy/primary-categories/scrivener-linux-21-beta-dow... for details.

Of course, as usual, the .tgz, the Windows beta, or the long-running Mac version can be downloaded at http://www.literatureandlatte.com.

The spell-check doesn't work on this beta (at least on 64-bit systems), but that is probably a problem with my packaging.

Download the .deb at http://www.robhamm.com/temp/scrivener-beta_2.4_all.deb
