Xcircuit for Opensuse 11.0

[xizzling]

Hello all,

Being somewhat new to linux, i wanted to use xcircuit (for publishing my schematic entries in easy .eps like format for latex)
I was looking into xcircuit rpm, and found this for opensuse.
Is it a workable solution to download this rpm:

RPM Search xcircuit-3.6.132-2.1.i586.rpm

If theres an easy way plz suggest to have xcircuit running?

Ok i started the make install, and found the following missing aclocal error for my xcircuit rpm. Could anyone suggest what is missing ?

make install
cd . && /bin/sh /tmp/xcircuit/missing --run aclocal-1.9
/tmp/xcircuit/missing: line 46: aclocal-1.9: command not found

         it often tells you about the needed prerequirements for installing

Hi
Normally you can search here;
http://software.opensuse.org/search?
xcircuit is in the hamradio repository no need to build;

Oh , thank you so much for this help. You saved my time!

Thank you for your help! Saved my time trying to find xcircuit.

Not trying to be a beeech here, but hey, HAMRADIO?
I guess that was the only area where circuits needed simulation back in the gue'O days of 1950.

gEDA is in the Science repo. It is curious indeed that they are not in the
same repo.

Tried it... very simple. Did not manage to do anything with it, and it crashed:

cer@Telcontar:~> xcircuit &

cer@Telcontar:~> Warning: Actions not found: delete-next-character

after 14364 requests (14363 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

[1]+  Exit 1                  xcircuit

The menu above does not work. I click on "File", nothing happens.

I do not like it.
