I wrote up a basic guide on how to compile Bitcoin on Ubuntu. I hope it proves useful to anyone still having issues compiling the graphical client.

An excellent guide. Thank you so much for your efforts - it will certainly help me Smiley

That’s a really well written walkthough.  Someone should confirm if they followed it and didn’t run into any snags.
