Hi Ankit,

Please read the instructions on the webpage linked to in the previous
email.  I believe you should be familiar with installing software
packages on Ubuntu, where no compilation is necessary.

For Ubuntu 12.10 you should use the 'precise' debian archive, so

  CODENAME=precise

then follow the rest of the instructions as usual.

Also take a look here, and avoid top-posting on this list:
