George,
If the installer stops at GSpiceUI, and you don't need it, just click the continue button, and the installer will contine with everything else.

Stuart,
I currently don't need gspiceui. It it the first failure point in the install and I was just trying to save an hour of build time.

If all you want is GSpiceUI, the easiest thing to do is grab teh source tarballs off the CD or off the gEDA website and build them by hand.

Stuart,
Copied cd to home dir and running from there. Is there a way to install just the gspiceui?

Try this:
1. Mount the CD in the usual place:
su -c "mount -o exec /media/cdrom"
(or whatever magical incantation works for you)
2. Cd to your home directory and run the CD from there:
cd ~ /media/cdrom/installer --log
This will drop the Install.log file into your local directory. Then you can examine it and/or send it to me.

Stuart,
I am hung while installing the 7/30 iso. Installing on a slow dual cpu system. One cpu is 100% busy in install.exe. No other jobs running. Last log message complained about unable to install gspiceui with unresolved symbols starting with "xw".
Also just got a page of junk after the following message:
./installer.exe:396: GtkWarning: gtk_text_iter_set_line_offset: assertion `char_on_line <= chars_in_line' failed

GEDA guys and gals,
I have produced an interim/preliminary gEDA Install CD with lots of new stuff on it. It does not have the latest/greatest gEDA/gaf from CVS, but it *does* have the latest gnucap, pcb, Icarus Verilog, gtkwave, and other packages. Also, it has been tested -- and seems to work -- with SuSE-10.0 and FC 5. (Therefore, I figure it should work with eariler versions of these distros too.)
If you are willing to be a guinea pig, please download the CD here:
http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/
(bottom of page) and try it out.
I am *very* interested in hearing bug reports from folks trying it out. To use it successfully, you need a maximally configured distro. That is, a distro with as many "-devel" packages installed as possible. The trend today is to remove header files, config utilities, and so on from distros in favor of binary applications for "e-mail and document processing for the end-user". Stupid, yes, but that's the reality. Anyway, please try to pick up as many "-devel" packages as you can when you install your distro.
Then, when you try the CD, please let me know whether it succeeded or failed for you. I am particularly interested in reports like:
"I installed on my FC5 box configured with both development and workstation options selected. The install failed when building foo. Please find my Install.log file attached."
I may ask you what packages you have/don't have installed on your distro. This kind of interaction helps me figure out what dependencies are needed on the CD itself.
I will either ignore, flame, or challenge you to actually produce a working CD (depending upon my mood) any comments like:
"I think intalling from source is dumb, and users should use [apt-get, yum, whatever] to handle dependencies."
My goal is to get as close to a major release as possible, in anticipation of Ales's upcoming gEDA/gaf release. Please give this interim CD a trial, and provide me with constructive feedback.
Thanks, and happy designing!
Stuart
