Due to the various linux/unix architecture, I wouldn't expect a binary
install from the pov-team (but any linux distribution could do it).

For installing and compiling on Ubuntu, you need a few packages and it
should fly.

Have a look at >

(It's a bit old, referencing 3.7RC4 instead of current 3.7RC7, on Ubuntu
11.10 instead of 12.04 or 13.04, but that should put you on track)

The best estimate I have from old echo: when it's ready.
