The usual procedure for things like this is that stuff installed by the package manager goes in /usr (that is .. /usr/bin, /usr/share, and so on) and stuff installed separately without the package manager goes in /usr/local (that is .. /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/share, and so on). Most tarballs, install disks, and the like default to doing exactly this. Therefore, just install it. It will do what you want. Just make sure that /usr/local/bin appears in the $PATH before /usr/bin . _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
