Installing Dimdim on Debian Lenny

I found these instructions for installing DimDim on Debian Lenny. They’re pretty good: http://niteshrijal.com.np/installing-dimdim-in-debian-lenny-stable/

However, there appear to be existing packages for some of the Python modules that are installed from source, so perhaps try those first. Also when setting permissions, look out for the commands to set permissions on your /usr/bin and /usr/lib and /usr/local/share directories; those are a bit wide-reaching for me! When installing swftools I suggest putting them into the /usr/local hierarchy rather than /usr. Make sure you have the psmisc package installed to get killall, which is used by StopDimdim.sh
