I just got Slanger working (finally) with Ubuntu 12.04.
Key notes:
1. Followed the guide here: [https://github.com/tsimbalar/play-pusher-slanger/blob/master/README.md](https://github.com/tsimbalar/play-pusher-slanger/blob/master/README.md)
2. Slanger’s homepage on github also has some good info
3. Redis had to be running. `apt-get install redis` and then `service redis restart`
