I hope this note is a candle in the darkness.

I've got Scrivener running on Mint 17, although i haven't really used it much there as my main machine is a Hackintosh with the Mac version.
For some reason the graphical package manager crashes when trying to install Scrivener, so you'll need to do it via command line (pretty simple).
Step 1:
Download the .deb from here.
For the 32bit version of Mint 17
Step 2:
Open the Terminal and copy & paste the following:Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i Downloads/scrivener-1.6.1.1-beta.deb
sudo apt-get install libaspell-dev
This will install both Scrivener and libaspell-dev (required for a working spelling checker).
If you're running the 64bit version of Mint 17
Step 2:
Open the Terminal and copy & paste the following:Code: Select all
sudo dpkg -i Downloads/scrivener-1.6.1.1-beta.deb
sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1:i386 libXext6:i386 libXrender1:i386
This will get Scrivener up and running but without spelling checking or support for multimedia files.
Hopefully a 64bit version of Scrivener for Linux will eventually be released, solving this problem.
Hope that helps.
