Stuart, what was the point in that response? Everything you asked was 
alredy covered

1) Launched from the tools menu in the gEDA project manager
2) Aptitude is a way of installing programs (on Debian based OS)
3) The latest stable from the website (the gEDA website)
4) It didn't say anything, it just ran, otherwise I would have said "I 
get this error: xxx"
5) No, if I started the individual aps from the command line I wouldn't 
be asking what commands were needed to do that.

To clarify, can someone please tell me the commands to start the 
individual aps of the gEDA suite so I can find out what the errors are 
(which I also said in the original post)
