Installing CastPodder

I've been using iPodder (now called Juice) on my Windows partition to gather podcasts. Now that I'm running in Ubuntu, I've been looking for a Linux program for the same task. CastPodder is based on iPodder and has a very similar look and function.

I grabbed a .deb package and installed. When I tried to run it, it complained about a missing python module called wxversion. The CastPodder forum wasn't very helpful (since the author and a confused user got into a flame war instead of answering the question).

I found an Ubuntu documentation page that referenced the wxversion package. I decided to try to grab it with sudo apt-get install python-wxversion

No problems! It installed without a hitch. However, CastPodder was now asking for a module called wx. A little more searching through the Ubuntu site found docs for python-wxgtk2.6. After sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.6, I was good to go.

I'm not sure yet if CastPodder will start up automatically at boot time. Next time I reboot (after all of these bittorrents I'm downloading are complete), I'll find out.

I wasn't able to find where the Windows program stored the feeds, so I'm just re-entering them. I only have around 10, so didn't take very long. Plus, I decided to trim a few that I wasn't listening to.
