Do they say anything when they fail? I have used aptitude, and the iso and still just have these tools. Which version of the ISO? What did it say when you ran it? I am using the tools menu to switch applications. What tools menu in which program? How did you start it up? From teh command line? Some icon? Is there a terminal method which can diagnose what has gone wrong? Stuart ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user Stuart, what was the point in that response? Everything you asked was alredy covered 1) Launched from the tools menu in the gEDA project manager 2) Aptitude is a way of installing programs (on Debian based OS) 3) The latest stable from the website (the gEDA website) 4) It didn't say anything, it just ran, otherwise I would have said I get this error: xxx 5) No, if I started the individual aps from the command line I wouldn't be asking what commands were needed to do that. To clarify, can someone please tell me the commands to start the individual aps of the gEDA suite so I can find out what the errors are (which I also said in the original post) ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

Re: gEDA-user: Re: Installing in Debain. Nothing (at all) works
There are two things to keep in mind: 1. At least last year, Ubuntu was a uniquely crippled distro. Yes, it's bright and shiny and has lots of buttons for newbies to press, but it lacks certain software development tools requried for the CD installer to work. It also lacks the relevant include files for many packages. If you want to use the CD installer, make sure you have all the *-devel stuff installed. A list of required packages was posted on this e-mail list just a few days ago. 2. GEDA's tools are generally used from teh command line. If you're a Linux newbie, and are expecting to just push buttons and have stuff work, then you're in for frustration and disappointment. Please spend some time browsing the wiki and familiarizing yourself with the tutorials and other materials. They talk about how to use gEDA from the command line.

Just because the packages installed by default are not the ones you would choose does not make it uniquely crippled. All of the important tools are there, but some are not installed by default. All you need to do is apt-get install . In this regard, it is no different from Debian, which installs even less by default. In my opinion, even Debian installs too much by default. If some other distribution loads up your disk by automatically installing all kinds of stuff in anticipation, I consider that to be a defect. But I will be honest in this, and say that is why we have several to choose from, so you can choose what you like. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
