install-reddit.sh

The install script has moved to the main reddit repository:

https://github.com/reddit/reddit/blob/master/install-reddit.sh

I'm attempting to install on 11.1 (I removed the bit in the .sh that checks for version 11.04) and the install bails when it gets to the PPA:

Any ideas on what's causing the script to bail?

Yup, none of the packages in the PPA are compiled for Oneiric. There's a reason that version check is there :P

Silly Me.

After reinstalling the correct version of Ubuntu, I'm bailing on the same error as Cheapsteak:

ImportError: No module named lxml.sax
make: *** [r2/public/static/button.js] Error 1

I've manually installed lxml with "sudo apt-get install python-lxml" but the script still dies at this line.

I've tried to follow the steps on Lucid (10.04.3 LTS) but it fails on
$ make pyx

You need a newer version of Cython.

Note: we don't support Lucid any more and there're parts of the code that will not work on Python 2.6.
