Well I thin that I have deleted all the gEDA stuff ready to re-do the all the tarballs only I'm stuck not having glib. That seems to be a really basic tool used by gtk and others. So I tried getting back to where I was installing gEDA from the package manager. The tab to gschem returned under apps/education but it's still dead. So I un-installed the Ubuntu gEDA, Looking at google for glib at http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Programming/Libraries/GLib2-2653.shtml is this what is needed?
