Many thanks for this! I've verified this on Ubuntu 8.04 /Hardy, and found one package you left out, required by PCB: texlive.
$ sudo apt-get install git-core cvs flex bison texinfo automake autoconf libtool pkg-config gettext groff intltool guile-1.8 guile-1.8-dev libgtk2.0-0 libgtk2.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libgd2-noxpm-dev tetex-bin tetex-base doxygen transfig gettext gettext-base texlive I still get an error running make on PCB - a bunch of messages complaining about "Overfull \hbox". I can post the pcb.log if anyone is interested. -Ethan Craig Niederberger wrote: > Thanks super again, Peter--you were right!
