Perhaps I should mention in advance that I tried to build the whole gEDA
suite with the installer script from the CD ISO image. 
Also, I'm not too proficient compiling applications, other than
executing ./configure, make, and make install from a single source tree.

In the geda-sources directory, I found no less than 18 aclocal.m4 files,
all different - yet none of these seem to be directly related to
gspiceui. Which one should I edit? Perhaps this one:
geda-sources/gedagaf/geda-20060123/aclocal.m4?

Where should I invoke ./configure (and make, and make install) for
building gspiceui? There's no configure file anywhere in the tree under
gedas-sources/gspiceui/.

Or is there a way to manually invoke the installer script for the
GSpiceUI source tree only, without having to sit through the  build of
all applications?

The INSTALL file suggests to manually build anything that fails to build
& install automatically, but nowhere is explained *how* one should
manually build any given application, in the same way the installer
script does it (so that the final application ends up in the
geda-install directory).


My apologies if these seem like beginner's questions to you, but I seem
to be missing a link somewhere between what the automatic installer does
and a subsequent manual install with a tweaked configuration. Also, I'm
more of an electronics expert than a software guru ...

For all the rest, I'm quite impressed with everything, my compliments
with an already very nice and useful electronics software suite  :-)


Thanks again, with best regards,
