Re: gEDA: gEDA/gaf 20050313 source tarballs released

Ales,

I've just compiled and installed gEDA from the v20050313 source tar balls on
two Redhat 9 machines. Both machines already had all of the required
dependencies installed. It took a little trial and error but everything went
surprisingly well IMHO.

One point however. I installed gEDA to /usr/local/geda and used the make all
approach from the geda root directory as a non-root user. libgeda was the
first to be compiled but couldn't be installed because of the need for root 
access. Once I'd worked out that I needed to enter libgeda/ and manually 
install as root everything worked fairly well after that. If geda where
installed in my home directory this would not be an issue but when root
access is required it can be confusing. Perhaps there needs to be some
instructions cover this option.
