Re: gEDA-user: Suse 9.2 Geda 20050329 Install Problems

[Eric Daine <daine_ep@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok,

Solved it, had an old libgeda.pc file living somewhere up in usr/ 
directory.  Just copied over it with the one that was made when I built 
libgeda and now, ta dahhh!  gschem is up and running and even through an 
ssh -X session.  YES!

Probably should have set some pkg-config environment variable but could 
see how off, my method seemed to work, I hope.

Thanks again, for all your help, and all the development efforts.  Off 
to see if I can get a board together.

Much appreciation and sincere admiration,
ED
