It is currently not available in maverick, but e.g. in natty.
When Gautier is back from vacation he will put the jsbsim package in
maverick as well...

You won't find it with the online repo search of Ubuntu, because it is
not in the official ubuntu repos, but in the paparazzi ubuntu repo.

There probably were API changes in JSBSim since the package was built
and the paparazzi sim is not compatible with these...
What errors did you get?

But meanwhile you can use the package from the paparazzi natty repo,
download it and install it.
