Re: gEDA-user: Final call for testers!

[Daniel Wisehart <dw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Since I was having trouble with SuSE 9.1--it no longer seems like a gEDA 
supported distro--I made CDROM's for SuSE 9.3 and formatted the hard disk of 
my machine.  After installing the OS and getting all of the updates, I went 
back to installing gEDA again.  The summary is that I got everything but 
gspiceui to compile and install; the details are below.

The first problem I had is that I could not get the 20050828 install to run.  
I was able to run the 20050825 install--I probably ran it ten times--but the 
828 install gave me this error:

> /media/CDROM/installer --log
I/O error : Input/output error

(installer.exe:12254): XML-CRITICAL **: Document is empty

(installer.exe:12254): XML-CRITICAL **: Start tag expected, '<' not found

(installer.exe:12254): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_string_free: assertion `string != 
NULL' failed
I/O error : Input/output error

state

  File "installer.py", line 4636, in ?

  File "installer.py", line 401, in __init__
    self.wTree = gtk.glade.XML (gladefile,windowname) # This creates the 
window tree.
RuntimeError: could not create GladeXML object



With the 825 install running I found the same things others did that the first 
couple of dialogs have scrollbars, but the rest of them do not and so there 
was a lot of text I could not read, but I could figure out what I needed to 
do based on the log window.

Because I ran the installer many times, I must say that it would be nice to 
have a way to restart or to skip the parts that were successfully completed, 
because it takes a lot of time to work through the gaf install every time.

For anyone starting with a clean green SuSE 9.3 distro, I needed to install 
gcc, ncurses-devel, termcap, glade, flex, bison and libxml2-devel before the 
825 install would run to completion.

I still had a gspiceui error that looks like I am missing some more header 
files.  Does anyone have any idea what package I might be missing?  The error 
I see is:

Good job, Stuart.
