Thanks Jason, I'd never needed to ask how to do this before. I've always
put up with and suffered whatever shortcomings there are with the
standard repositories. I might be able to contribute more directly to
code improvements now.

Matt

Don't worry! Your not wasting our time. The truth is
that many of us here are somewhat blind to the defects
present in the software packaged in the repositories. We
don't produce "release" versions very often so most of
us have had to get in the habit of compiling from
source.<br>
<br>
</div>
If you'd like to try out the latest and greatest version
of PCB you should do the following: (also there is a
building from source guide here: <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://git.geda-project.org/pcb/plain/README.git"><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://git.geda-project.org/pcb/plain/README.git">http://git.geda-project.org/pcb/plain/README.git</a></a>)<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>[1] make an empty directory (optional) and open a
terminal there.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
[1] sudo apt-get install build-essential git<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>-> you need these packages on your system to build and
download the source code<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
[2] sudo apt-get build-dep pcb<br>
<br>
</div>
-> this will automatically install most of the developmental
(*-dev) packages needed to build PCB on your system<br>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>[3] git clone git://<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://git.geda-project.org/pcb.git">git.geda-project.org/pcb.git</a><br>
<br>
</div>
<div>-> This fetches the latest and greatest source
code and puts it in a folder named "pcb" in the current
directory. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>[4] Go to that directory in your terminal and run the
following commands in order:<br>
[5] ./autogen.sh<br>
[6] ./configure --disable-nls --disable-doc<br>
[7] make<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>and if there were no error you can then type<br>
