Hello Paulo.

  But this shows to me, that the Debian squeeze version will not solve 
 the problem

Now i am not so shure with this..

I looked for the debian squeeze backport, but the recomendet files are not 
there. So i tried in an act of despair to install from squeeze main direkt, 
frantically mixing stable lenny and testing squeeze. Eerie, i know:O)

I put a squeeze main source to my sources.list and installed 
libstdc++6-4.4-dbg, also libgcc1_4 and gcc-4.4.

Then i installed kicad-2010-03-14-final for Ubuntu 9.10 like recommendet by 
kicad.

the result is a running kicad server, but if i try to start as an example 
eeschema, nothing seems to happen. When i tried it again, i got the message, 
that eeschema was already running.
So i started eeschema direkt by hand out of a terminal and got the error 
message:  symbol lookup error: /usr/local/kicad/bin/eeschema: undefined 
symbol: gdk_window_is_destroyed
Perhaps this happens, because i did it from a terminal, but with the kicad 
server itsself, it works, starting kicad from a terminal
I even tried it as a root.

Strange...maybe, the reason is mixing up stable and testing.

Now i will go back to the old 2009-final, and hope, it will run. otherwise, i 
think, i would have to remove the files from the testing.

Perhaps debian squeeze really would solve the problem.i hope.


 have you tried the aktual ubuntu 9.10 already?
 
 My notebook has ubuntu 9.10, I installed this new version of kicad on 
 it, and it runs well.
 

Good to knew. I installed the Windows version at the pc at my job, just to test 
it.
I think the mouse handling is more smooth and i like the undo at pcbnew.
But i noticed, that at the module editor i am not able to change the wide of 
the lines, an in a german forum, somebody told me, that he is not able to 
choose single layer. I think, he needs this for autorouting, an looked for 
this, and i think he is right..
I do not bother about this, because i don't like autorouting.by hand, i 
will just not put wires to the upper side. :-)

Hello Dan.

  I installed a program called ps2pdf

I think ps2pdf is not a program, but a script for steering  the program 
ghostscript.
Also ghostscript has to be compiled in a way allowing to write pdf-files.

Not all distributions support ps2pdf in their package repository or
support the convertion of ps to pdf by ghostscript.

[kicad-users] Re: creation library

2010-03-02 Thread bernd.wiebus
Hello Giuseppe.


 when I try to create a new library I have this error:
 Wrong DEF format in line 5, skipped
 and is impossibile to create it.

Did you use a blank or spacebar in the Name? Sometimes this causes errors. Dont 
use blanks/spacebar at kiCad names.

[kicad-users] Documentation about file formats

2009-02-23 Thread bernd.wiebus
Hello

I would make some symbols and devices, but found no documentation about 
the file format of the librays. Because i would like to chance symbols, 
editing already placed symbols (like described at the eeschema help) 
will not work.
I looked into some librarys with an editor, but most of the 
abbreviations are unknown to me.

I speak only german and english, so the portugese documentation is not 
realy a help for me.

Is there a way to get an english documentation? I would translate it to 
german.
