I am using since *ever* xcircuit on Ubuntu.
I do not know the status of the package; I just compile myself. It is
quite easy --- just download the source tarball, uncompress it
somewhere, and then
sudo apt-get install build-essential tcl-dev tk-dev libX11-dev libxpm-dev
./configure --with-tcl --with-tk
make clean
make
To test without installing
export XCIRCUIT_LIB_DIR=./lib
export XCIRCUIT_SRC_DIR=./lib/tcl
./lib/tcl/xcircuit.sh
To install
sudo make install
Hope it helps,
Romano
and no, you won't find a better schematic-drawing program (at least not
so fast to use).

After struggling and failing to install Xcircuit on my Mac (somebody please
make a Homebrew installer!) I thought to try my Ubuntu box.
There’s actually a link to an older version of Xcircuit in the Ubuntu Software
Center, but it won’t install either: it seems to be hung in the download phase.
And looking on the Xcircuit download page, I learn that the last reference to
Ubuntu was nine(!) years ago and concerns Xcircuit 3.4 on Ubuntu version 7 (I
think we’re on 15 now). It also lists TEN other packages I’m expected to
install before I can even try compiling Xcircuit.
I’m about to throw in the towel. Anybody know another circuit design/schematic
capture program that runs on Mac?
