It is really old, and has not been updated in a long time. I don't think there ought to be any limitations due to the 64bit machines, we use gEDA on our 64 bit AMD servers (Running SuSE), serving hundreds of thin-client PCs. Ubuntu 8.10 comes with "almost" the very latest release of gEDA, [2]1.4.0. (There is also 1.4.1 which fixes a few bugs, but that is not in Ubuntu). To install gEDA on Ubuntu, you want something like: sudo apt-get install geda sudo apt-get install pcb-gtk (That ought to pull in individual pieces such as libgeda, geda-gschem, geda-gattrib etc..) You mentioned ngspiceui (actually, it is "gspiceui"), try: sudo apt-get install gspiceui sudo apt-get install gnucap ngspice isn't available in Debian due to a whole host of licensing issues which probably can't ever be resolved. As you now have Fedora installed (by the sounds of it), perhaps someone else could step up and offer the equivalent commands to get Fedora's RPMs for the various parts of the suite.
