So I presume Debian or Ubuntu? I expect if you grab gEDA 1.6.1 from either the Debian sid repositories, or Ubuntu Lucid, you will be very pleasantly surprised at the improved graphics and feel of the suite. http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/geda-gaf There are several binary packages, so you'd need to grab them and dpkg --install *geda*.deb NB: I'm not 100% sure where best to suggest you grab them from. Probably under: http://ftp.debian.com/debian/pool/main/g/geda/ And similar, such as: http://ftp.debian.com/debian/pool/main/g/geda-gschem/ I'm hesitant to suggest you fiddle with your apt.sources, but there are of course ways to apt-get install from a newer distro release. For Ubuntu Lucid packages (which might work in Karmic, say), look here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/lucid/geda-gaf https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geda-gaf/ If you expand the tab next to 1.6.1, you can see and download the individual .deb files. If you want, let me know what distro version you are on. If people are interested, I can back-port the 1.6.1 package to a few different versions in my PPA. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
