No, sorry, this directory resides under ~/geda-0.0.2. I simply unpacked
gedasuite-linux-x86-0.0.2.tar.bz2 in my home directory, started
install.sh, and entered my home directory (the default, IIRC) as the
install directory.

With previous versions, I downloaded the ISO CD image, mounted it as a
loopback device, and fired up the install script which compiled and set
everything up automatically.

Thanks already, and I hope I get things working soon -- I'm a rather
stuck now :-/
