As indicated on that page, Varnish only provides deb packages for the LTS releases of Ubuntu.  Maverick is not an LTS release.

Ben,

Thanks - now I know what an LTS release is.

I also tried building from source but ran into a problem.  I followed the instructions here

https://www.varnish-cache.org/docs/trunk/installation/install.html#compiling-varnish-from-source

Made sure I had all the dependencies satisfied, then ran autogen.sh, configure, and make.  But the make fails with the following:

make[4]: Entering directory `/home/jstroomer/downloads/varnish/varnish-3.0.0/lib/libvarnish'

Any thoughts?
