Re: gEDA-user: Newbie -- installation issues

[sdb@xxxxxxxxxx (Stuart Brorson)]

First off, how did you install gEDA?  Via apt-get, the CD ROM
installer, source tarballs, or what?  It's impossible to know what is
wrong without this type of info.

It is possible that you installed binaries which expect to see a
particular version of the shared libs, and your lib version is
different.  If this is the case, you are better off grabbing the
install CD and using it to build gEDA from source.  (It basically does
it for you.) The of building from source is that the configure step
takes care of all the library issues for you.

Another possibility is that you have an older
installation of gEDA on your machine.  You need to go in and wipe away
all traces of the older gEDA stuff, including any trace of libgeda,
and any old gEDA programs, including older gspiceui executables.
