There are some pre-built packages for several versions of ubuntu available in the GMPC Trunk Team's [PPA].
For older more stable release packages, you can install packages from this [PPA]
Howto use PPA[]
Add the repository[]
To install them first remove any previous installed version of gmpc and libmpd.
If your using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic or newer, and want to install the latest stable version, just type:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gmpc-trunk/gmpc-stable
If your using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic or newer, and want to install the latest version, just type:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gmpc-trunk
If your using Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty or older,
then add one of one of these to /etc/apt/sources.list:
Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/gmpc-trunk/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/gmpc-trunk/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex

Debug Packages[]
Since the GMPC-Trunk Team's PPA is considered to be unstable prerelease packages, you may encounter bugs. In which case, you may be asked to submit a backtrace so that developers can figure out what's gone wrong.
In order to get a proper backtrace you'll need to install the proper debug packages:
sudo apt-get install gmpc-dbg libmpd1-dbg
If your bug is being caused by a plugin you'll need to install the debug package for gmpc-plugins:
sudo apt-get install gmpc-plugins-dbg
