@lynerlok Hey, no I don't (my needs for quick mockup to paint over are satisfied with Eevee). I remember I did it once, but at that time I was on Kubuntu LTS and so I could use their Ubuntu LTS package. I quickly saw the package wasn't maintained to more recent versions, so I stopped to care about it.
I hope you'll find a way to get it to work if you work with Cycles; I can imagine it might saves some computational time.
