here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome

and I accessed this page from the page:

http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Compiling+the+source+code

if this is not the correct way of proceeding, could you please tell me which instructions should I follow?

thanks for your help, I did not try this procedure, as I decided to have a fresh install of Ubuntu.

may I suggest to perform a little cleaning of the whole installation procedure?
