Beware that --enable-doc is the default, but will fail without --enable-maintainer-mode (which makes some of the needed images). So choose one of --disable-doc or --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-doc Otherwise the make will fail in the doc which interferes with make install.

Don't use the CD yet. I haven't updated it, and I won't update it until Ales does the next release. Your best bet is to learn how to install from CVS. It's not hard. Here are instructions for gEDA/gaf: http://geda.seul.org/developer.html and for PCB: http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=737
