If you're new to gEDA, make sure you have at least the 1.6.0 version.
Anything older is just so much uglier. 1.6.0 is actually the latest
release - there are one or two bug fixes (one notable) in git HEAD if
you wanted to build from source....

See:

Get the latest PCB release you can - that is always a good idea, the
latest release was "20091103", available here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pcb/files/pcb/pcb-20091103/pcb-20091103.tar.gz/download

Or get the latest from git HEAD:

(See same instructions as above).

That has seen some activity recently - including a fair few bug fixes
since the 20091103 release - made just over a week ago!


If you get into testing experimental code (and / or) want the
translucent OpenGL stuff, shout back and I'll send instructions to fetch
and build that. It is experimental still though.

Best wishes,

Peter C.
