Please contribute instructions for getting Sugar to work with Debian GNU/Linux.
Installing sugar on Debian
We currently use sugar-jhbuild, which has very few external dependencies; it builds custom versions of pretty much every piece of the Sugar environment. While this is extreme, it does work with very little manual effort (it just takes a lot of time to compile everything).
Get sugar-jhbuild
aptitude install git-core
Get sugar-jhbuild through git as described on Sugar_with_sugar-jhbuild
Run sugar-jhbuild
cd sugar-jhbuild ./sugar-jhbuild update ./sugar-jhbuild build-base.
If any dependency check fails, then try installing the following packages. I'm no expert on what's really required, but it worked for me: (I use debian unstable, march 2007).
aptitude install libtool libsqlite3-dev libnspr4-dev docbook-xsl intltool
