No guarantee these will work on your hardware, but I've had good luck with them on Ubuntu 11.10 and higher. Basically, anything with glibc >= 2.13 has a pretty good shot--as long as your hardware is "relatively" recent.
So if you don't want to download the 400Mb Qt5 installer and/or mess around with compiling, these might be for you. If they work.
(actually, these packages are only intended as a stop-gap measure until Qt5 becomes part of official package management systems)
These packages contain the necessary Qt5 libs and a script to launch Sigil. It's nothing fancy and you have no choices on where to install (/usr/local), so it would probably be wise to remove/backup any other version of Sigil before proceeding.
Install with a graphical package manager of your choice or just use:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
from a terminal to install, and
to remove. That's it.
You can launch by typing "sigil" at a terminal or a sigil.desktop file will be created in /usr/local/share/applications that you can create a shortcut to (there should also be an entry for Sigil in the "Office" category of most desktop environments' menu system).
File listings for the packages contents are attached.
