   As part of my on going effort for realtime web updates on one of our applications I needed to install RabbitMQ HEAD (That is the development head) with the RabbitMQ STOMP adaptor. Talking on IRC channel it was recommended to me to install from source, but unfortunately the documentation is out of date. So the following will do it cleanly:

   sudo apt-get install erlang-crypto erlang-snmp erlang-syntax-tools libsctp1 lksctp-tools erlang-runtime-tools erlang-mnesia erlang-public-key erlang-os-mon erlang-ssl erlang-base erlang-parsetools mercurial git-core build-essential erlang-dev zip erlang-tools erlang-src python-simplejson  erlang-edoc
   cd ~
   hg clone http://hg.rabbitmq.com/rabbitmq-public-umbrella
   cd rabbitmq-public-umbrella
   make co
   make

   Updated: The following will create a Debian style package and install (replace ** with the version numbering that you wish to use:

   sudo apt-get install cdbs debhelper xmlto
   cd rabbitmq-server
   make VERSION=1.8.** srcdist
   make -C packaging/debs/Debian UNOFFICIAL_RELEASE=true package
   sudo dpkg -i packaging/debs/Debian/rabbitmq-server_1.8.**-1_all.deb

   Activating the STOMP plugin:

   cd rabbitmq-public-umbrella/rabbitmq-stomp/dist
   sudo cp amqp_client.ez /usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/rabbitmq_server-1.8.1/plugins
   sudo cp rabbit_stomp.ez /usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/rabbitmq_server-1.8.1/plugins

   Configuration file:

   RABBITMQ_PLUGINS_DIR=/usr/lib/rabbitmq/lib/rabbitmq_server-1.8.1/plugins
   SERVER_START_ARGS='-rabbit_stomp listeners [{"0.0.0.0",61613}]'

   Restart to activate (the activation script for plugins is depreciated):

   sudo /etc/init.d/rabbitmq-server restart

   And you should have a working RabbitMQ on Ubuntu with a STOMP adaptor.
