Thanks... have now hacked the main makefile I'm using to do that...

Small issues with the build:: libgeda must be installed under /usr/
whatever before the rest will compile. This is a pain, and could
probably be improved.

(Is it possible to compile and link against a version of libgeda in the
build tree, and still find the correct version after an install?)

I think I saw somewhere in the makefile which stated geda-symbols must
also be installed.

Thanks once again,

Peter
