(easy). Alternately download a binary .deb from Debian (thanks to Hamish) and you can just sudo dpkg -i <pcb-version.deb>. </p> <p> Build Installation: Ubuntu doesn’t include everything you need to compile software yourself. You’ll want to install the ‘build-essential’ package using apt-get or synaptic to get the basic toolchain working on your machine. (Things like GCC are not inc. in Ubuntu). For a testing maturity level for PCB or geda, build-essential should be all you need. </p> <p> Be careful as synaptic can do extreme damage to your system. Do be fooled into replacing libc6 because synaptic will want to remove all applications that depend on it – meaning your entire system. </p> <p> <acronym title="Concurrent Versions System">CVS</acronym> Installation: For the <acronym title="Concurrent Versions System">CVS</acronym> version of PCB under Edgy, your ./configure step will require running with switch –enable-maintainer-mode. (more notes needed) </p> </body> </html>
