I came upon those packages yesterday, and installed it without any problems. Now I can finally start redoing my circuit layouts, which I lost when my computer crashed. That'll teach me not to back up to CD more regularly. :( Thanks again guys for your help. Top bunch of guys that you are. Andy

Ok, there seems to be a problem with the packages I downloaded. I was trying to created a new package by editing an exsisting package, and when I went to delete a line, the editor crashed and closed, with no error message what so ever, and just took me back to the kicad main screen. Anybody

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

I'm still using the 2009 final with SUSE 11.1 at the moment. (I use the centos versio on SUSE) I do have SUSE 11.3 installed but I have a annoying problem with my KVM which is preventing the system determining what monitor is connected, so I have not yet installed the latest Kicad on 11.3 as yet.
