I have been using Veoh TV on Windows and really like it. I found great content like all the Lexx episodes and lots of great Asian horror movies. So naturally being a Linux guy I looked for a Linux version and found OpenVeoh! 

Open Veoh is no longer under development nor is it supported. Kind of sucks, but I understand where the developer is coming from... Either way, it compiles great on Ubuntu 7.10 and works well; although, is very slow...

Terminal commands are in bold.

Let's setup Ubuntu to compile OpenVeoh. Open a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall subversion libssl-dev  libsqlite3-dev

If you have a problem you might need libsqlite3-dev, but I don't think so. I saw it on the comments and I already had it installed so try it if you have problems.

Now get the source code from subversion:

svn co https://openveoh.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openveoh openveoh

Just answer (t)emporary when asked about the certificate. When done change to the openveoh directory:

cd openveoh

Now you are ready to build and install. Type one after another:

make sockets
sudo checkinstall -D make install

Say yes to docs. Enter twice to move forward.
Change option 6 (group) to Internet, enter to compile.

Once completed the package will be installed. You can remove it using Synaptic by searching openveoh. Also, you now have a deb package in the source directory for later installs.
