Step 1: Install the needed packages
sudo apt-get -y install libqt4-dev libboost1.48-all-dev subversion
Step 2: Building edb-debugger
svn checkout http://edb-debugger.googlecode.com/svn/trunk edb-debugger

sudo make install
Step 3: Locate edb

Once the program has launched, goto Directories under Preferences.
