Nahh!!! Go for it Stefan!

Building linux packages has become very standardized and in learning to
build gEDA you'll learn general principles rather than throw away type
of information. 
   1. Download the source 
   1.5 unzip source
   2. ./configure 
   2.5 if missing libraries install them and return to 2. patiently
   3. make 
   3.5 su
   4. make install 
   5. ldconfig
Well, it's probably not quite that easy, but if things go well it is
nearly that easy. This applies to nearly every source code package
implementation due to standardization.

disclaimer: this is only a general note and I have no experience with
the teardrop plugin, and only just recently installed gEDA from source.
