Please try the latest:  20050830, which I placed (without
announcement) at:

I believe I should have fixed the Glade problems (below) plaging you.

I froze the 20050830 installer with the correct version of Glade (I
hope), so these problems should be gone.

SOmeday I will re-write the thing to offer you a pick-list at the
beginning of the install so you can select what you want and what you
don't before you do the entire install.  That would help you a lot.

Thank me when it runs correctly for you!  :-)

Anyway, if you could be so kind, I would appreciate it if you could
try the 20050830 edition and see if your Glade problems are gone?  If
they are, then I will stick the CD onto the gEDA main download site.

Thanks for all the input!
