but i am computer illiterate and I am not getting anywhere can someone help maybe with a, do this, now do this, now do this kind of thing. I quite like this linux thing but for a numskull like me it has a bit of a learning curve.
the webisite says this
[Since MMEX depends on libwxgtk 2.8.0 deb package, you need to
add deb http://apt.tt-solutions.com/ubuntu/ dapper main to your apt-get sources list. For more details refer to the wxWidgets site. Note that the dapper repository will work for Dapper and Edgy.]

This should work;
http://sourceforge.net/project/download ... irror=mesh
Download it and use it like an .exe-file.
Double click on it and install.
When it is finish it should pop-up somewhere under Program!
If that dont work do this;
Howto add deb files in source list;
In a terminal type; sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Followd by your password, the password will not been showd on the screen, but it will get typed, belive me!
then paste on an empty line;
deb http://apt.tt-solutions.com/ubuntu/ dapper main ( or edgy insted of dapper if you are using edgy)
save it and exit.
Fire up a new terminal and type;
sudo wget http://www.tt-solutions.com/vz/key.asc | apt-key add -
then type;
sudo apt-get update
then; apt-cache search --names-only wx\*2.8
when you finde the right packed type;

Probably you don't want to compile the program by yourself (using the .tar.gz-file), and rather use the pre-compiled binary-package, and since there are .deb-files for Ubuntu, use them instead 
Have you tried to Reload the Repositories before you try to install the package?
You do this by typing sudo apt-get update in the terminal. If the new repository has been properly added to your sources.list, the package should be visible and installable by apt-get and/or Synaptic.
That means: if the line
deb http://apt.tt-solutions.com/ubuntu/ dapper main
is in your /etc/apt/sources.list, and the command
sudo wget http://www.tt-solutions.com/vz/key.asc | apt-key add -
has been executed, the package should be installable. (Note: you should put dapper in the sources.list, even if you are using Edgy. If your sources.list contain edgy on that single line, replace it with dapper).
