Actually following the instructions from here: http://baby.bedroom.gen.nz/~clive/kicad-re/tutorial/kicad-mainline-debian-install.php
I do not seem to be able to compile KiCad on a Debian 7, 64 bit machine. Error here: $ sudo make -j 4 Scanning dependencies of target boost Scanning dependencies of target potrace [ 0%] Performing patch step for 'boost' [ 0%] [ 0%] Building CXX object potrace/CMakeFiles/potrace.dir/bitmap_io.cpp.o Building CXX object potrace/CMakeFiles/potrace.dir/curve.cpp.o Scanning dependencies of target bitmaps [ 0%] bzr: ERROR: unknown command "patch" Building CXX object potrace/CMakeFiles/potrace.dir/decompose.cpp.o make[2]: *** [../.downloads-by-cmake/boost_1_53_0/src/boost-stamp/boost-patch] Error 3 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/boost.dir/all] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
