This is for Ubuntu 11.10, but may work for other versions as well. Run the
following command:
sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev libgdbm-dev\
libncursesw5-dev libxml2-dev libglib2.0-dev gnutls-bin
sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev libsqlite3-dev\
libncursesw5-dev libxml2-dev libglib2.0-dev
And then follow the instructions in the README.
=head2 I'm getting the error "No PEM-encoded private key found" on startup
=head2 Ncdc uses too much disk space!
Most likely this is caused by a L<bug in
glib-networking|https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664321>. To get
around it, install the "certtool" utility that comes with gnutls (package
"gnutls-bin" on Ubuntu), delete the old certificates (C<rm ~/.ncdc/cert/*>),
and then start ncdc again.
First, look where this disk space goes to (hint: use
L<ncdu|http://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu>). If it's the log files: you can safely
delete or rotate them (see next question).
The I<db.sqlite3> file can also grow quite large in certain situations. If you
modify or rename a lot of files in your share and ncdc re-hashes them, the old
hash data associated with the files is not removed from the database, resulting
in wasted disk space. The C</gc> command in ncdc can be used to clean up this
unused data. Be warned, however, that this command needs roughly twice the size
of the old db.sqlite3 file for temporary storage, so make sure you have enough
space available. (Note that this behaviour is not specific to ncdc, most other
DC clients do the same.)

Nothing like that is included in the release yet, but there is a simple
