Use this guide to install the precompiled OGRE SDK for Debian OS.
The latest version of OGRE is only available for

build from source if you need the SDL graphics subsystem.
You can find a running thread in the

If you don't like command-line interfaces, you can try other package managers like Synaptic (graphical) or Aptitude (console).
