I guess that you are using Ubuntu Hardy Herron. Based on my experience using the package manager you are at least one year behind current. Best to do it from the tarball else you run into bugs that have been fixed. Regards Ian. I am in the midst of switching from FreeBSD to Linux. So happens,

Thanks for the reply. The repository information seems to refer to gusty. Where do I find information on the 'versions' or repositories? On boot, I see Ubuntu 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14-generic I found a reference to the hasty repositories. I will change to that. tomdean

Hello list, I'm a total gEDA newbie and am pretty amazed about what is possible already. Still, I'm currently having some problems which probably are extremely easy to solve for some of you - most of them are only about usability. Currently I'm just designing with gschem, maybe do some PCBs

Success! After I got some of the other -dev packages installed, configure complained of missing libXaw! Before that, even though I configured with --with-x, configure did not complain. Guess I have been spoiled in AIX, Sun, SCO, FreeBSD, Etc. Thanks, tomdean

It strikes me that you could also do this as two boards, an interposer that has a row of pins on 0.300 centers, and dual-row header socket down the middle. I thought of this, but didn't have the sockets, so I designed it for what I had on-hand. Plus, I don't have the luxury of plated holes,

Interesting concept. It solves the covered breadboard wire problem pretty nicely. I might try something like this. Another advantage is that it creates a pseudo-I-beam, so removing it is less risky - there's almost no flex in the foot board. OTOH you can't run wires over the chip, because
