Linux Mint is pretty much Ubuntu - I think 12 is equivalent to Ubuntu
11.10, but I'm not 100% sure without looking it up.

So, if you install the dependent packages detailed at the following link...

http://www.xastir.org/wiki/HowTo:Ubuntu_11.10,_11.04_or_10.10

In theory it should work.  When using the geotiff package from the
repository, make sure to run configure using the following syntax:
configure CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/include/geotiff"

Normally leaving out the CPPFLAGS part alone doesn't cause compile
errors, however, so there is something else afoot. Hopefully it's just
a missing dependency of some sort.
