Hello all. I was wondering, has anybody been able to install gEDA on 64-bit SuSE 10? gEDA is an open-source electronic-design package which is similar to the commercial Viewlogic package (now part of Mentor Graphics). For those interested, here is its web site: http://geda.seul.org/ . It is available in 32-bits only, but since it can be compiled from source, I would think it should be possible to install on my 64-bit SuSE since SuSE is a biarch distribution. But, as the say, the devil always lies in the details... There seem to be several ways to install gEDA. One of them, purported to be the easiest, is to download an ISO, burn it on a CD, and then run the installer from the CD. More details about this here: http://geda.seul.org/download.html . Since the ISO image contains a lot of libraries I know for sure are already installed on my system, I did not choose that route. I downloaded the necessary zipped tarballs from http://geda.seul.org/devel/20060123/gaf-20060123-relnotes.html, unzipped them, and ran make. I don't think I had any problems with the existence of prerequisite libraries, but make complained about C preprocessor sanity: ------SNIP------- ... checking whether ln -s works... yes checking how to recognise dependent libraries... pass_all checking how to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check See `config.log' for more details. make: *** [libgeda-20060123/config.h] Error 1 ------SNIP------ The 'config.log' file was no more informative. I suspect the trouble is caused by the fact that lib64 is accessed instead of the 32-bit lib. There is a gEDA installation wiki at http://geda.seul.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=geda:installation, which does discuss SuSE 9.3 and 10 but, unfortunately, says nothing about 64 bits. (If I get this installation to work, I may enter that into the wiki. :) ) gEDA is a major milestone in the open-source movement. It is a whole suite encompassing schematic capture, board layout, Gerber-file generation, SPICE circuit simulator, and even open-source Verilog (called Icarus). Chances are if one package (e.g. schematic capture) installs, all others will install also since they all have common dependencies. I did some googling, but I saw nothing about his specific error. Any help would be appreciated. TIA Gus Fantanas -- Running 64-bit Linux on AMD64
