gEDA-user: Re: Wishes, bugs and misunderstandings (6-10)



Do you have an older version of gEDA/gaf installed? If so, uninstall or
hide it.
Yes, I have an older one installed. I am not too sure how I'd go about hiding it. I don't want to delete it, since I don't plan on recompiling it as well.


Did you set the necessary environment variables when you typed
make at the top level? What are LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH, and PKG_CONFIG_PATH
set to?
No, I didn't do that. I thought typing make at the top level sets that automatically. I will give that a try tonight. Is there a place that tells me what to set those?
I will try these suggestions tomorrow (other than deleting the current installation) and let you know if they work.


Thanks,
Kurt

This is the first time I've ever compiled from CVS, so I actually checked out the entire set into a totally empty directory. That implies that I have the new libgeda. I'm wondering if there's an old header or file that is a residual on most people's drives, but not checked into the latest CVS snapshot?

All the necessary code/headers should be checked into to CVS. Do you have an older version of gEDA/gaf installed? If so, uninstall or hide it. Did you set the necessary environment variables when you typed make at the top level? What are LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH, and PKG_CONFIG_PATH set to? The most critical one is PATH. It should include the path to the bin directory of the new prefix you are installing CVS gaf to (before any other paths). Like this:

/home/ahvezda/geda/bin:/home/ahvezda/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
