The CD will put all the sources in a directory before trying to build them. If you recall where you put your sources (you told it where to put them in one of the dialog boxes), you can just go into there (after the build fails), and do the edit you outline above to each Makefile. The build by hand as you did above. > The > make seemed to work fine and I now have a gerbv window that appears to > function.

What kind of file is required for the program? I find the best way to run gerbv is to say "gerbv" at the command line, and then use the file browser to load my Gerber files. Make sure you turn on each layer by pressing the appropriate button on the left of the viewport. Also, you can right-click on a button to assign the layers. > I will give your suggestion above a try and see what happens! Have fun! Stuart
