Snotty attitudes don't cut it, and neither does that site. The search
engine is apparently set to scan for jessie(stable) only, or at least it
returns zero results for wheezy. And once you have used the search, you
cannot back out as the back button never takes you back to THAT site.
I quit iceweasel 3 times just so it could send it back to THAT site to
see if I could figure out how to use it to do a useful search.
So unless you can offer real help, STFU and let someone else with less of
an attitude answer.
My thanks to anyone with a helpful answer.
I did find it eventually but its a whole version number newer, so I've no
clue if it will install. sudo dpkg I assume. And I am amazed, dpkg had
no complaints.
So I re-ran geda-gaf's autogen.sh, getting this back at the end:
autopoint: *** The AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION declaration in your
configure.ac
file requires the infrastructure from gettext-0.18.2 but
this version
is older. Please upgrade to gettext-0.18.2 or newer.
autopoint: *** Stop.
Older? 'scuse me, but, an "ldconfig -v|grep gettext" returns:
libgettextpo.so.0 -> libgettextpo.so.0.5.1
libgettextlib-0.19.3.so -> libgettextlib-0.19.3.so
libgettextsrc-0.19.3.so -> libgettextsrc-0.19.3.so
Something isn't matching, and the error is bogus? But thats a SWAG.
./configure has no problems, but make ends with a missing .h file. Again
exactly the same result as I got yesterday with gettext-0.18.1-whatever.
So, where do I go from here? I can't update to Jessie just yet since
LinuxCNC iso's for Jessie haven't been assembled yet. Its coming, but
likely not until after April. It helps now that Linus has announced his
own LTS kernel just this past week. Now our kernel folks know what
kernel they need to make compatible with the RTAI patchkit, and vice
versa of course.
My thanks to anyone who can offer useful advice. I'd use eagle for the
current need, but that kit self-destructs quite often when updates
destroy any thought of being backward compatible with previously
composed work.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
