Well I discovered yesterday that I had a problem with my installation of Kicad from the sources. Because I don't know how to make myself the root, I had to use the "sudo" command to run the ' make install' option. After coming back to Kicad yesterday, I found that the program would not run. No matter what I tried, so I decided to do total wipe of my system (I know its an overkill, but I got rid of Windows all together at the same time.)
So now I need to know how to do it properly using the source codes available from svn and making myself root to perform the installation. Any ideas guy??????
