Following the offical instruction to install Io language on Ubuntu 11.10 is confirmed to be problematic. I spent several hours to get Io installed successfully on my Ubuntu 11.10. Below shows how I get it all through.

I basically followed the offical instruction at https://github.com/stevedekorte/io

By running 'cmake ..', I got a lot of missing dependencies. Thanks to this link http://jetpackweb.com/blog/2011/02/08/io-language-addons-and-making-them-work-in-ubuntu/ , it gave me clues for installing most of the missing dependencies, except GLFW, I installed GLFW from source (get the tar.gz from it's offical site)

While running 'make', I got a basekit related error same as https://github.com/stevedekorte/io/issues/153 , the fix is here https://github.com/stevedekorte/io/pull/156 , not sure why my download of Io had not the fix, I manually patch the code according to https://github.com/jeremytregunna/io/commit/087c126f71e26aec62628e55d747d8fbf93473d3

Then I got another compiling error of Yajl lib, it turned out to be a version mismatch: apt-get installed 1.0.x but Io needs 2.0.x, the cmake version argument for Yajl is not working as mentioned here https://github.com/stevedekorte/io/blob/master/addons/Yajl/CMakeLists.txt . I removed previous installation of Yajl and installed Yajl 2.0.2 from source downloaded at https://github.com/lloyd/yajl/tags 

I also did all the things mentioned in 'Any Linux Distribution' section of https://github.com/stevedekorte/io

All done!

Complicated instructions, but works, hope it helps before the problems get fixed.
