That looks really good. I'm heading home for the weekend, so haven't yet
tested it, but that equates to my desired behaviour.

Does the Linker still get past the normal -L/usr/lib stuff on its
command line? If so, how do we gaurantee that it links against the new
libgeda in ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib. Is it an order-of command line precidence
thing?

They are knoppix based workstations, so basically they are debian. I've
tried to contact Hamish to discover how he builds the debaian packages,
but have had no response yet.

I gave up trying to do the debian packages myself earlier today, as I'm
not familiar with the build system. Instead, I'm just producing
a .tar.gz from "/" of the majority of a gEDA build, and quoting run-time
deps as per Hamish's packages.

Thanks for your help on the build commands.. no doubt will have plenty
of chance to try them over the next few weeks as we push out patched
versions of gschem etc.. for local testing.

Peter
