Chad, I am just a lowly user, but here is my 2-cents: I run Slackware Linux, so I download the source and build my own Slackware installation package. Whatever was done in the past has worked fine for me. I have had no problems building the 1.8.2 version from source. I do rebuild .rpm packages for some apps, such as LibreOffice and Slackware has an rpm extractor (rpm2cpio) that works for them, but I prefer to build from source to make sure all the dependencies are correct. Not that I have seen them in gEDA, but compile warnings make me nervous. There is no reason they cannot and should not be fixed. It's a sign of lack of quality. Compile errors are fatal frustrations. Thanks and good luck. Girvin Herr
