gEDA-user: gschem cvs repo issue FC6

[Craig Niederberger]

Thanks super, Stuart.  I'm used to the 'configure / make / make install'
paradigm, but the instructions for the cvs install were a little
different--make runs a short script which spits out the export defs, and
then I run make install.  My error turned out to be that as I was installing
FC6 I was using sudo for the make installs, and the cvs install seemed to
need me to run it as root (su -).  It made/installed as root just fine.

Your idea about having geda in a different place is a really good one--does
anyone know where the FC6 repo defaults to putting geda?  I had thought
/opt/geda *was* a different place :) but probing around my system now, I
realize I may be wrong!

Thanks *super* for the help last night,
Craig
