[pet] Is PET supported on Ubuntu?

[Bill McNeill (UW)]

Thanks for the help, everyone.

I was able to successfully install the PET components and the ERG from
http://cl.naist.jp/~eric-n/ubuntu-nlp/<http://cl.naist.jp/%7Eeric-n/ubuntu-nlp/>
.

I'm still going to try and build PET on my Mac using the latest source from
the SVN repository.
