Ryzom

Stumbling through getting the code up and running on my system. Although I do have experience with Linux it has be a few years since I fell into the windows pit and hung around there so please be gentle.
Anyway I actually just got Ubuntu up and running here a couple days ago and started downloading and installing various goodies.
I am looking forward to getting Ryzom up and playing around but I got stuck on the libwww package, the karmic version is suggests using doesnt seem to exist anymore. Can someone point me to best place/method for getting the package and getting it installed?
Thanks Much
