Take a look at the instructions on the page: http://geda.seul.org/developer.html it explains all the prerequisites to building gEDA. In the first directory you get into with a Makefile, (the toplevel makefile), type "make", and you get some instructions. There is some output which you can just copy-paste (and execute) in your shell to set the environment variables as appropriate. By default, the CVS checkout will want to build in your home directory, e.g. /home/myuser/geda. If you prefer /usr/local, try "make prefix=/usr/local". > What environment variables am I most likely to need to set? > LD_LIBRARY_PATH? That sort of thing? Yep, that and PATH, and for building, PKG_CONFIG_PATH. If you use /usr/local, you may be able to skip setting these before running geda, so long as your /etc/ld.so.conf (or /etc/ld.so.conf.d/...) contains a line "/usr/local/lib". After installing libraries, you can run the command "ldconfig" as root, to pick up the new libraries. (It may work without, but I can't remember).
