try something like this:

cd ProtoShares

qmake bitshares-pts.pro 

make

after the make, you should get a whole bunch of stuff that runs for a few minutes.  may ned to run it with sudo,  like: sudo make

this method always works better fo rme than the way you tried.

do not use sudo

Hi Devs,

I tried to install the client on Ubuntu 12.04 and then on Qubes.os but couldnt. I want to buy PTS but not for the benefit of an exchange, so I need some detailed guidance here on how to install the PTS/Bitshares client on some Linux distro that definitely works.
Im a complete noooob to the game, so please bear that in mind :)
The code provided here in this FAQ almost worked.
Problems began when the Protoshares directory turned out to be a typo, its supposed to be ProtoShares.
From then on nothing worked. Am I supposed to also install a bitcoin wallet? Because it was also not found there.
Time is running out, please help!
:)
Oh yeah, this is what I got in the terminal:
