[SlimDevices: Beta] 7 won't start on Ubuntu

[broth420]

Here is what I did to get it to work (I think)

sudo mkdir /usr/share/slimserver
sudo chmod 777 /usr/share/slimserver

download the latest 7x build
saved it to /usr/share/slimserver
renamed it slimserver7.tar.gz

cd /usr/share/slimserver
tar xvfz slimserver7.tar.gz

renamed folder "SlimServer_trunk-v2007-09-08" to "slimserver7"

sudo chmod 777 -R /usr/share/slimserver/slimserver7
sudo apt-get install mysql-client
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libexpat1-dev
cd
wget http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz
tar -xvzf zlib-1.2.3.tar.gz
cd zlib-1.2.3
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/zlib
make
sudo make install
cd /usr/share/slimserver/slimserver7
sudo Bin/build-perl-modules.pl

I ignored all the errors I saw (which were the same as before)

sudo ./slimserver.pl

And this seemed to work
and I am telling you what, that is as clunky as it can get.
I still don't know if it is working correctly.  Will follow up once
music directory is scanned and I can actually play something
