In general, running the first stage "make" as root is not needed, and represents an un-necessary security risk. (It can harm building some packages IIRC). If should be sufficient to do: make sudo make install > Back to gschem1.2.0 sudo ./configure okay sudo make okay sudo make > install okay. Same comments about make, and in _this_ case, I can verify it will be OK to mix versions. (gschem 1.2.0 _will_ work with libgeda 1.2.1, however it is not in general recommended). > So lets give it a try. Applications Education GNU EDA schematic editor > and NOTHING.

If so, you probably had a menu entry from the Debian package. If you are willing to try the 1.3.1 packages (which are precursors to the 1.4.0 release), you will get this all setup at install time for you, including menu entries and file associations. > Situation I'm not able to invoke gschem I guess I can always reinstall > from Ubuntu package manager but I'm sure it's something silly that I've > done. Any help greatly appreciated Ian. Not something silly, just that we didn't install menu icons until later than 1.2.x versions. Assuming geda and libgeda are installed on your path (/usr/local/.. say), then you should just be able to drop in a menu entry with 1.2.x if you want. I've attached some files. They won't pickup icons though. You can drop these in /usr/local/share/applications/ or ~/.local/share/applications/ (if you just want them for your user) Then update the applications database: sudo update-desktop-database /usr/local/share/applications or update-desktop-database ~/.local/share/applications -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
