  63 xorg-x11-fscl
  64 xterm</pre>
  65
  66 <p>
  67  Take care that you select guile and guile-devel version 1.6.7. Version 1.8.1 doesn’t work. (Werner)

  71 <strong>2. Append these lines to your .bash_profile:</strong>
  72 </p>
  73 <pre class="code">export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/geda/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
  74 export PATH=$HOME/geda/bin:$PATH
  75 export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH</pre>
  76
  77 <p>
  78  Update your environment:
  79 </p>
  80 <pre class="code">$ source .bash_profile</pre>
  81
  82 <p>
  83  <strong>3. Go to the <a href="http://www.geda.seul.org/sources.html" class="urlextern" title="http://www.geda.seul.org/sources.html"  rel="nofollow">gEDA sources download page</a>.</strong>
  84 </p>
  85
  86 <p>
  87 From the gEDA/gaf group, download <strong>only</strong> the packages which have a date as its version. The necessary dependencies where already installed in step 1.

 102 Locate the executables of your browser and <acronym title="Portable Document Format">PDF</acronym> reader and create links from /usr/bin. Examples:

 105 $ ln -s &quot;c:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe&quot; /usr/bin/firefox
 106 $ ln -s &quot;c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe&quot; /usr/bin/acroread</pre>

 117 $ gschemdoc -m
 118 ( gEDA documentation appears )</pre>
