Take a look at the instructions on the page:
http://geda.seul.org/developer.html it explains all the prerequisites to
building gEDA.

In the first directory you get into with a Makefile, (the toplevel
makefile), type "make", and you get some instructions.

There is some output which you can just copy-paste (and execute) in your
shell to set the environment variables as appropriate.

By default, the CVS checkout will want to build in your home directory,
e.g. /home/myuser/geda.

If you prefer /usr/local, try "make prefix=/usr/local".

Yep, that and PATH, and for building, PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

If you use /usr/local, you may be able to skip setting these before
running geda, so long as your /etc/ld.so.conf (or /etc/ld.so.conf.d/...)
contains a line "/usr/local/lib".

After installing libraries, you can run the command "ldconfig" as root,
to pick up the new libraries. (It may work without, but I can't
remember).
