Howdy -- if you install the ruby-dev package, does the installation work?

If so, we may need to add ruby-dev as a dependency for that Install Script.

You may also need to install the libfcgi-dev package, as it is needed for the fcgi gem to compile.

Installing both of the suggested packages fixed the first problem.

Now it bails out at this step:

I installed sqlite3, no change.

(Note that I'm not actually intending to use Typo, I just tried out some script installers and thought you might be interested in such fails.)

Try installing the "libsqlite3-dev" package, that provides the missing "sqlite3.h" file.

Next problem fixed, next problem occuring. ;)

Installing Ruby Gem typo version 5.5 ..
 .. done
 
 Now installing Typo version 5.5 ..
 The typo command could not be found
 
 .. failed! See the error message above for the reason why.

Does the typo command exist anywhere on your system? You can find it with a command like :

find / -name typo -type f
