Re: gEDA-user: Final call for testers!

Stuart,

First of all, I had built everything by hand, and I guess I never did
get it all OK.

In the end, I deleted the entire installation and started the install
over.  Since the installer routine started with wkGTK installation (and
in my case it wasn't able to complete) I did a manual installation of
wkGTK and pkgconfig, and set up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  Once that was
done, I started the installer.  It ran to completion with no errors and
testing indicates that the earlier problems with POLY have now been
resolved.

I thank you for your assistance.
