gEDA-user: openSuse 10.0

["Charalampos Alexopoulos" <babis@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi
For everyone may be interesting here is my experience of installing gEda
to a fresh installed openSuse 10.0 from download ISO CD's.

Before install gEda i use Yast to install:
gcc-c++
guile

I download from:
http://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source/suse/i586/
and install using Yast.

gtk-devel-1.2.10-888.i586.rpm 
wxGTK-gl-2.6.1.0-4.i586.rpm  
wxGTK-devel-2.6.1.0-4.i586.rpm

Then i start gEda installation.The installer complain that it can't find
pkg-config while it was installed (version 0.19-5)i let the installer to
reinstall pkg-config (installs version 0.15.0).
The gEda install with errors in the following packages:

ngspice
gspiceui
gerbv
Icarus Verilog
GTKWave

Tomorrow i will try to find the reasons for those fails. Any suggestions
are welcome.I put snips from the log window for each fail package
