You will need some libraries in order to successfully compile:

apt-get install libexpat-dev libtiff-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libgd-dev libgtk-dev 

Then get wxWidgets (2.4.2 does not work) and aMule itself (you should do this as a normal user):

wget ftp://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.6.1/wxGTK-2.6.1.tar.bz2
wget http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/amule/aMule-2.0.3.tar.gz

Then unpack what you downloaded

tar xvjf wxGTK-2.6.1.tar.bz2
tar xvzf aMule-2.0.3.tar.gz

Then create the needed libraries and programs (I compiled all of this on the LS2. Takes more than a day but I had the time ;-)):

cd wxGTK*
./configure --with-gtk=1 --disable-odbc
make
su
make install
^D (to return to normal user)
cd ..
cd aMule*
[=./configure --prefix=/usr/bin/aMule --enable-amule-daemon --enable-amulecmd --enable-webserver \=]
[=--enable-webservergui --disable-amule-gui --disable-debug --disable-gtk --enable-optimize  --enable-alcc=]
make
su
make install
^D (to return to normal user)

You might also add --enable-ccache if you did a apt-get install ccache before. To learn about options see http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Configure. Now set up amule.conf as described in http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Webserver#Webserver_with_aMule_2.0.0_or_later.

After all is set up run the program

/usr/bin/aMule/bin/amuled -o -f
/usr/bin/aMule/bin/amuleweb -q -P [thepassyousetup] &

More info about the latter can be found at http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/FAQ_webserver#Can_I_run_aMuleWeb_as_a_daemon?. Now you can connect to your aMule using your favorite browser:

http://your.ip.here:4711, pass is empty

This is only safe for intranet and personal use. If you want to use if over the web you have to do a little bit more - create a remote.conf

[EC]
Host=localhost
Port=4712
Password=efb77c96e82dd2c40ac13f439f1b251c  [this is the pass from amule.conf you use program communication]
[Webserver]
Port=4711
Template=default
UseGzip=1
AllowGuest=0
AdminPassword=efb77c96e82dd2c40ac13f439f1b251c  [this is the pass you want to use for web login]
PageRefreshTime=0
GraphHeight=149
GraphWidth=500
GraphScale=3
