Re: Softwares on Linux...

Hello.

Firstly, what programs did you install, and what distribution of Linux are you using?

If you installed gEDA, then you need to remember that gEDA is merely the name for a suite of applications. If you're using a mainstream Linux distro with one of the big window managers (Gnome or KDE), then menu entries should have been automagically generated for you. If not, then to access say the schematic capture program, open a terminal (as user, not root) and type:

gschem

Hope this helps a bit.

Nathaniel.

I take it you are using Fedora and so If you installed gEDA you would find it under Applications->Electronics or Science.

Also did you install openjdk or sun java and if so is it the VM or Development Kit.
