First I edited the /etc/apt/sources.list file to include the "universe" package collections:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe
Next I updated the apt cache and added the libraries I needed.
richard@neely:~$ sudo apt-get update

When done I downloaded the sguil-client-0.6.1.tar.gz archive, and modified sguil.conf thus:
set ETHEREAL_PATH /usr/bin/wireshark
That's it. I was able to start Sguil and access servers.

Rich,
You could convert the rpm packages to debs using alien and install sguil that way. This of course assumes that the rpms are still maintained.
I used to do this back in college.

Rich,
It is pretty straight forward though :)

Not disagreeing I'm just saying that it's good practice to have everything managed with the systems native package management.

Note Sguil 0.7.0 requires tcltls too.
If only OS X were as easy as debian...
