Hello Paulo.

Now i am not so shure with this......

I looked for the debian squeeze backport, but the recomendet files are not 
there. So i tried in an act of despair to install from squeeze main direkt, 
frantically mixing stable lenny and testing squeeze. Eerie, i know....:O)

I put a "squeeze main" source to my sources.list and installed 
libstdc++6-4.4-dbg, also libgcc1_4 and gcc-4.4.

Then i installed kicad-2010-03-14-final for Ubuntu 9.10 like recommendet by 
kicad.

the result is a running kicad server, but if i try to start as an example 
eeschema, nothing seems to happen. When i tried it again, i got the message, 
that eeschema was already running.
So i started eeschema direkt by hand out of a terminal and got the error 
message:  symbol lookup error: "/usr/local/kicad/bin/eeschema: undefined 
symbol: gdk_window_is_destroyed"
Perhaps this happens, because i did it from a terminal, but with the kicad 
server itsself, it works, starting kicad from a terminal....
I even tried it as a root.....

Strange.......maybe, the reason is mixing up stable and testing.

Now i will go back to the old 2009-final, and hope, it will run. otherwise, i 
think, i would have to remove the files from the testing.....

Perhaps debian squeeze really would solve the problem.....i hope.

Good to knew. I installed the Windows version at the pc at my job, just to test 
it.
I think the mouse handling is more smooth and i like the "undo" at pcbnew.
But i noticed, that at the module editor i am not able to change the wide of 
the lines, an in a german forum, somebody told me, that he is not able to 
choose "single layer". I think, he needs this for autorouting, an looked for 
this, and i think he is right......
I do not bother about this, because i don't like autorouting.....by hand, i 
will just not put wires to the upper side. :-)
