Summary: make Vs GNU make

Initial Comment:
Recently installed the gEDA suite on a Solaris Express Developer Edition X86 system.

Initial make install failed with errors.  Noticed mention of GNU make somewhere in the Makefiles, I believe.  On the Solaris system, GNU make is gmake.

gmake install
ran without errors.  Suggest README or other documents instruct to use GNU make.  If it's there, I apologize, I didn't see it.

I saw mention of groff in the output from the gmake install.  I didn't see it as one of the prerequisites.

It appears running gschem requires things to be located in  /usr/local/share/geda.  I  had it located elsewhere and it didn't operate properly.

Do not have help working properly yet.  Maybe a path issue or maybe I need groff?

Thanks for the suite.

Ron Johnson
