General / Simple Guide for Installing SFML to Ubuntu 64-bit?

Thanks! I'll give it a shot tonight. I tried both manual installation and installing from the repos, but I overlooked that list somehow, so I'm guessing that's where my problem lay.

General / Simple Guide for Installing SFML to Ubuntu 64-bit?

« on: March 02, 2011, 06:25:54 pm »

I spent most of last night trying to install SFML to the latest [k]ubuntu 64-bit distro with minimal success. Eventually after a few hours, I was able to compile clock.cpp with g++ and get it to run, so I decided to try compiling and running the pong example, which didn't work. At this point it had been 5 hours or so of chasing down dependencies, and I decided there must be a better way.

So, my question is if there's a straightforward guide to getting a fully functional SFML installation on 64-bit ubuntu? Perhaps a .deb package somewhere that would magically solve all my woes? I've had a search, but haven't run across anything yet.
