Linux Mint 16 and SimpleIDE

I had a computer that was sitting there collecting dust, so I installed Linux Mint 16. I downloaded SimpleIDE 0-9-40, and tried to get that working, but I was not successful. Anybody have any hints as too how that is done for Mint 16? It seems like in the past it was a very simple process to get it too run, now it looks like it has become a mystery, or has a mysterious solution. I would really like to get SimpleIDE up and running on the Mint 16, if anybody has a solution I would appreciate it.
Thanks

0) Install the mercurial source code management system on your machine.
1) Get the code form here: http:// hg clone https://code.google.com/p/propside/
2) Change to the newly created propside directory and run the linrelease.sh script.
If you want to work in Spin then do an "hg update spinside" before building.
3) That will no doubt fail due to lack of installed libraries and stuff. Install those and run it again.
4) When you get stuck come back here and ask. We should derive a set of instructions from this exercise for use by others.
Any updates on this? I notice that the Linux version is still at 9-40 while Windows/Mac are at 9-45.
Although, looking at Heater's instructions it doesn't look too difficult. Maybe I'll try that.
We're waiting for David Carrier to make a new INSTALL.txt since he wrote the installer setup.sh.
I've downloaded v0.9.45 onto my Linux Mint 16 & installation seems to be successful. But when I tried launching simpleide, it showed below error:
I did checked & the above folders do includes the simpleide & SimpleIDE files.
And, ~/Documents/SimpleIDE folder was not created. I've installed ctags, libaudio, libQtCore, and libquazip prior to the installation. I must be doing something wrong.
My installation is a 64-bit version.
Thanks.
We haven't produced 64-bit packages yet to make the install easier. We are getting to it.
As I recall, a 32-bit application on a 64-bit system may require some special packages. Try one of these:
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
or
$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch
It worked. Thanks Steve!
