Which version of debian do you have installed? sarge, etch, lenny?

Last week, I did an install on a fresh Debian box and put the compiled 
installation notes to the wiki:  http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:debian

You don't have to look for these tools. They are all contained as a 
binary package in the debian repository. Just do as root:

	apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
	apt-get install flex
	apt-get install bison
	... etc

Mount the cdrom with the exec flag set:
	mount -o exec -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

Make sure, the iso-image was mounted properly:
	ls /media/cdrom
(should show a host of files and dirs)

Start the installer:
	/media/cdrom/installer

When asked, tell the installer where to install the geda tools. (I'd 
recommend /usr/local/geda )

Prepare for a cup of tea.

Test-start gschem and pcb. You will find the binaries in (INSTALLPATH)/bin

Locate the tutorial. It was installed as part of the default docs. If you 
chose /usr/local/geda as a path, you can find it at:    
/usr/local/geda/share/doc/geda-doc/tutorials/gsch2pcb/tutorial.html

Hope, this will get you started...
