having difficulty downloading Sigil onto Linux
I'm running Xubuntu 13.10 and several people made suggestions on how to download Sigil. I followed two and couldln't get it. The first one was the 004 screenshot. Everything went fine but when I got to the Ubuntu software center I could not find a way to refresh it, and I could not find the package in the Synaptic window.

In the second one (the 007 screenshot) that too went fine but when I got to the install button (006 screenshot) the program started installing but then after maybe 5 or 10 seconds it stopped. I tried it several times.

Any suggestions? (And I'm pretty new using Linux so if you have a suggestion please give pretty detailed instructions.) Thanks very much.
