I got the most recent snapshot (20100929) through http://sourceforge.net/projects/pcb/files/ It compiled OK after installing a bunch of dependencies, but I can't recall at all whether dbus was enabled or not. By the looks of it, I didn't use git, so I guess dbus is switched off. Is there a way to check if it is enabled? > There is also a new "File" -> "Import Schematics" option which DJ > produced, which you might like to look at as an alternative to > xgsch2pcb. I tried this (see another reply of mine to the mailing list), but right now, it doesn't seem all that user-friendly, to put it mildly.
