Download the tarball and extract it, all files will go in the current directory:

$ tar xjf ../nitwit-1.981.tar.bz2

Make Nitwit executable and launch it:

$ chmod 775 nitwit
$ ./nitwit

You will probably get this error, unless you are upgrading:

  Warning: main(nitwit.conf): failed to open stream:
  No such file or directory in /home/millette/nitwit on line 5

  Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'nitwit.conf'
  (include_path='.:/usr/local/share/pear:/usr/share/php/PEAR')
  in /home/millette/waglo/projets/nitwit/yo/nitwit on line 5

Rename nitwit.conf.sample to nitwit.conf and update it with your
twitter and/or jaiku login information. Log into Jaiku and grab
your key from http://jaiku.com/api/key if you have an account there.

Launch Nitwit again and it will post to all configured accounts
simultaneously. Uncheck the "keep" box to send a single status update
and close Nitwit.

If you are still receiving errors, you might be missing a few dependencies.
Try the following on Ubuntu or Debian and its derivatives:

$ sudo apt-get install php4-cli php4-pear php4-dev libglade0-dev
$ sudo pear install http_request
$ ./buildconf 
$ ./configure 
$ make
$ sudo make install

This will download, compile and install PHP-GTK. If you're still having
