Nice. It seems that you can get Banshee (the latest version) up and running with a little help from this piece below…

With the Banshee 0.11 hot off the press, and no .DEBs for Ubuntu 6.06/Dapper Drake in sight, I figured people would probably appreciate some instructions on how to install the new Banshee. Well, here we go:

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you have the QuinnStorm repositories enabled (for Compiz/XGL stuff), you might encounter this compile error: “/bin/grep: can’t read /usr/lib/libXrender.la: No such file or directory” or something along those lines. The necessary fix can be found here. (I just ended up removing the “/usr/lib/libXrender.la” part of that line and it fixed it, and I think that’s probably a safer route.)
Ubuntu 6.10/Edgy Eft Users: Updated Banshee packages will probably hit the Edgy repositories, so just hold tight for a bit and hopefully an updated package will get pushed through the usual Ubuntu update notifier…. Source: Linux Revolution.
