Comment 4 for bug 365435

Wow, thank you for responding. After trying to get this to work with Lucid I
think I want to switch back to Hardy Heron, but Firefox keeps crashing with
the package needed to have sound when playing videos from the Internet like
youtube, so I may switch back to Hardy Heron and use Opera if this doesn't
work.

This all works with* Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope*, so maybe I should
downgrade to that.

I don't know, with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx I couldn't get this installed:
sudo apt-get install jscalibrator libgii1 libjsw2

After trying what I did below jscalibrator is installed but the driver now
doesn't work with it for what ever reason I don't know because I am a
beginner, at the bottom of my message here I am going to post what happens
when I try to make the driver.

jscalibrator isn't how do I say on the list of things installable through
synaptic package manager, so I took a hard drive and installed Ubuntu Hardy
Heron on it and I was able to get jscalibrator working on Hardy Heron with
the Xbox 360 wireless controller like before, so I took what was in
/var/cache/apt/archives after I had cleaned it out and took it to Lucid and
just installed it, but(I am still a beginner)(note I am using the driver
that Nicole posted here:
http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=570642&page=1

Anyways here is what happens when I try to make the driver:
