23 - Semi recent version of Unix or Linux
26 - A resolution of at least 800x600
28 - 3 button mouse (2 button works, but 3 button is better)

33 GLIB version 1.2.x is no longer supported.
34 Glib can be found at ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk
36 GTK+ version 2.4.x or later (and anything gtk requires)
37 GTK+ version 1.2.x is no longer supported.
38 Gtk can be found at: ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk
40 libgeda (same version as gschem)
41 This can be found on the gEDA website/ftpsite
43 symbols (same version as gschem)
44 This can be found on the gEDA website/ftpsite
46 GUILE - guile-1.6.x or later is required (and anything guile

51 for LibStroke is: http://www.etla.net/libstroke/
53 libgdgeda 2.0.15 [OPTIONAL] - if you want the ability to write png
54 images. New versions of libgeda/gschem write png using internal code,
55 so you will still be able to create png images without using libgdgeda.
56 Since 20060922, gd 2.0.x is used instead of libgdgeda, so libgdgeda
57 is not needed anymore.
59 libgdgeda is based on gd 2.0.15 The homepage for gd 2.0.x is
60 http://www.boutell.com/gd You can find libgdgeda on the gEDA
61 website: http://www.geda.seul.org/dist
63 If you use libgdgeda then you also need zlib. zlib can be found at:

101 * For anybody developing guile scripts using guile 1.6.x really should
102 set GUILE_WARN_DEPRECATED=detailed to see if they are using any
103 deprecated guile functions in their scripts. gschem disables the
104 guile deprecated function warnings by default.
