I have most of gEDA installed on SuSE 9.3, but I had the same issues you are having. A few of the problems I have not been able to work around. With YAST I had to pull in gcc, ncurses-devel, termcap, glade, flex, bison, libxml2-devel. gSpiceUI still will not build. Everything else did, according to my notes. It was gScheme and PCB that I was most interested in. The gtk-config problem I solved, hmmm, I can't find it in my notes. Yast shows a gtk compatibility library, but it gave me problems so I removed it. One of the gtk libraries installed /opt/gnome/bin/gtk-config, and then the installer was much happier. I think installing glade was one of the things that made a lot of things pass that had earlier failed, but that is from memory, not from my notes. Regards, Daniel
