Kazam Screencaster in 11.10?

I've been trying to find a good screen capturing program, and I've read some great reviews about Kazam, but they've all been with earlier versions of Ubuntu. Is it possible to install Kazam in 11.10? I've tried adding the unstable PPA to Software Sources, then running sudo apt-get Kazam, but no luck.

I've tried the unstable daily build PPA, as that seemed to be the only one that was supporting Oneiric (it had packages for Oneiric, whereas in the stable daily build PPA, the packages were for Lucid and Maverick). http://launchpad.net/~and471/+archive/kazam-daily-builds

Apparently the reason why Kazam Screencaster isn't installing in 11.10 is because 11.10 doesn't come with some of the dependencies that KS requires that came with previous versions of Ubuntu. I did some searching, and found another PPA for KS that a user created. This PPA works in 11.10 because it has the dependencies that KS requires.

To install Kazam Screencaster in 11.10 using the PPA above, just enter the following commands in Terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:vanhoof/kazam-scratch

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install kazam

Here's a second Kazam Screencaster PPA that you can use.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bigwhale/kazam-oneric

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install kazam
