Which version of debian do you have installed? sarge, etch, lenny? > I used apt, > but may components would not start so I now have the CD image. Last week, I did an install on a fresh Debian box and put the compiled installation notes to the wiki: http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:debian > I read the Debian.install which says I need gtk+2 developer tools. I'm > looking for these now. You don't have to look for these tools. They are all contained as a binary package in the debian repository. Just do as root: apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev apt-get install flex apt-get install bison ... etc > After that what do I do? Mount the cdrom with the exec flag set: mount -o exec -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom Make sure, the iso-image was mounted properly: ls /media/cdrom (should show a host of files and dirs) Start the installer: /media/cdrom/installer When asked, tell the installer where to install the geda tools. (I'd recommend /usr/local/geda ) Prepare for a cup of tea. Test-start gschem and pcb. You will find the binaries in (INSTALLPATH)/bin Locate the tutorial. It was installed as part of the default docs. If you chose /usr/local/geda as a path, you can find it at: /usr/local/geda/share/doc/geda-doc/tutorials/gsch2pcb/tutorial.html Hope, this will get you started... ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
