27 <strong>Ubuntu Install Notes</strong>
28 </p>
30 <p>
31 Basic Stable Installation: Use apt-get or synaptic to install a stable version from Debian repositories. (easy). Alternately download a binary .deb from Debian (thanks to Hamish) and you can just sudo dpkg -i &lt;pcb-version.deb&gt;.
32 </p>
34 <p>
35 Build Installation: Ubuntu doesn’t include everything you need to compile software yourself. You’ll want to install the ‘build-essential’ package using apt-get or synaptic to get the basic toolchain working on your machine. (Things like GCC are not inc. in Ubuntu). For a testing maturity level for PCB or geda, build-essential should be all you need.
36 </p>
38 <p>
39 Be careful as synaptic can do extreme damage to your system. Do be fooled into replacing libc6 because synaptic will want to remove all applications that depend on it &ndash; meaning your entire system.
40 </p>
42 <p>
43 <acronym title="Concurrent Versions System">CVS</acronym> Installation: For the <acronym title="Concurrent Versions System">CVS</acronym> version of PCB under Edgy, your ./configure step will require running with switch &ndash;enable-maintainer-mode. (more notes needed)
