Ubuntu 9.10 repository provides texlive-2007 .deb packages. They are old. Installing the new texlive-2009 (it includes circuitikz) is a good thing. Here is a quickinstall http://www.tug.org/texlive/quickinstall.html where you can read - 'How to acquire the software' (http://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire.html e.g downloading the iso or installing over the internet) - 'Running the installer' or 'GUI installer' and - 'Post-install: setting the PATH' (it's essential: see 3.4.3/3.4.4 in the full info page http://www.tug.org/texlive/doc/texlive-en/texlive-en.html) By default, the texlive-2009 bundle is installed on /usr/local/texlive (There is no need of deinstalling the old .deb packages, however they are not used anymore.)
