Dropbox for Jaunty? (Solved and updated for Lucid)

[SPQR]

Has anyone managed to get Dropbox working on Kubuntu Jaunty alpha 6 yet?

I loved it in 8.04, and sorely miss it now, especially for synching keepassx .db and all my totally essential files across multiple computers.

(BTW I "installed" in 8.04 simply by downloading the source, unpacking and then running the dropboxd from /.dropboxdist.)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

When typing

'./dropboxd' or 'sudo ./dropboxd' from within the ./dropbox-dist folder I get the following

Traceback (most recent call last):

I think I have an answer.

There is an experimental build at:

Seems to be working for me so far on Jaunty.

And if anyone would like to get Dropbox, and at the same time give me (and yourself) some extra storage, please feel free to use this link:

Works for me too on the 9.04 beta. Whew !
