Finally a Ubuntu complaint

Aha! Ubuntu doesn't support SciTE.  Bummer.
And it looks like the gtk version that shipped w/Maverick was a little stale, so I couldn't just build my own SciTE per the handy instructions in the README file.  Bummer.


And it was pretty easy to fix... Bummer!


First I got up to speed on GTK:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev



Then, following the README included in the SciTE source download, I built Scintilla and then SciTE.  Only catch was I didn't want it installed on my desktop, so I unzipped the files into /usr/local to build & install there.

cd scite227
cd scintilla/gtk
make
cd ../..
cd scite/gtk
make
sudo make install
