For those of us still on 12.04 and not wanting to upgrade, what was the correct version/package that worked for you?
It looks like
downloading version 0.9.32, configuring it, building it, and installing it is what was required to get it going on 12.04.
EDIT: Be sure to run 'sudo ldconfig' after the install or you might get this error:
error while loading shared libraries libmicrohttpd.so.10
Thankyou-Thankyou-Thankyou-Thankyou!!!!!!!!!!
You, my good sir, have just ended hours of frustration & hair pulling here. I'm a semi noob to Xubuntu, so thought it was me doing something wrong - I've been searching & reading so many different guides on this without success - until I stumbled upon this thread. It worked a treat - I'm forever in your debt my good man.
Praise the Cyber Gods!!

If you are talking to me about getting it working on 12.04 - you are welcome. It took some hair pulling on my end to get it working so I thought I would share what I learned
