The excel spreadsheet linked at the bottom of the page will do all the calculations for you.

If you value the guitar, get it done professionally - just give the luthier the nut to fret distances for each fret.

For one thing, I use GNU/Linux and don't own a copy of Excel, and for
another, my problem is figuring out how to actually cut the slots and
put the frets in. I could do the calculations in my sleep. Thanks,
though.

Oh, I don't value it at all. It's really old and beat up, that's why I
feel safe tinkering with it. I will, however, go around to some guitar
stores and see if anyone's willing to do it for less than, say, $100.
That's my absolute max. (See, I'm not only lazy, but also cheap!)
