[TriLUG] Kompozer for Ubuntu 12.10?

Hi all,

Kompozer is one of my mission critical apps. When making web pages, I
want WYSIWYG so I'm not continually wondering where in the skads of
code corresponds to the section I want to edit. For me, WYSIWYG web
page construction is simply a time saver.

Unfortunately, look what happens:

============================
slitt at mydesk:~$ sudo apt-get install kompozer
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package kompozer is not available, but is referred to by another
package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'kompozer' has no installation candidate
slitt at mydesk:~$
=============================

Does anyone know a different software source I can plug in to get
Kompozer running?

I tried getting a tarball and freelancing it, but the tarball from the
Kompozer website is some kind of pre-compiled thing, with no INSTALL or
README, that contains the executable, but look what it does:

=========================
slitt at mydesk:~/junk/kompozer$ ./kompozer-bin
./kompozer-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so:
wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
slitt at mydesk:~/junk/kompozer$ 
=========================

I installed Bluefish, took one look at its interface, and realized it
would cut my web creation productivity in half. Amaya and Quanta Plus
aren't even findable in apt-cache search.

I guess my fallback position is Vim, but that's quite a fall back, and
would cut my productivity almost as much as Bluefish.

If anyone knows how I can get a working Kompozer on my Ubuntu 12.10,
please let me know. If anyone knows of a high productivity web editor
that I can install on Linux, please let me know. At this point I'd even
pay for Dreamweaver, but it can't be installed on Linux.

Thanks

SteveT
