You may need to connect a vpn or anything else to help you ignore the china GFW.

Hiya,

You actually got this to work?  I had been trying to build scribe against versions of thrift on Ubuntu 10.04 and had tons of trouble.  I eventually went back to build against thrift 0.2.0, which obviously is not ideal.  Hm, I will have to try this using your instructions.  Thanks!

This works!!!

I booted a fresh image on amz of ubuntu 12.04, I basically copy pasted
the commands and it worked just fine.

Thanks for such an awesome list of steps. This would probably be a
good wiki article to put on github.

I think is open to everyone, but I would encourage the author to link
it on the wiki.

Thanks again.

So I took what ycavatars wrote and rewrote it as a bash script that works. 

https://bitbucket.org/agallego/ubuntuscribe/src/d1165abb9cc0/scribe.bash

I tested this again on a different machine this morning and it worked perfectly. 

Notice this line

https://bitbucket.org/agallego/ubuntuscribe/src/d1165abb9cc0/scribe.bash#cl-84

It will add the env var into your bashrc... change for your environment. 

Anyways, hope this helps someone, props again to the original author ycavatars.
