Greetings,

I was able to get gEDA 1.10.2 to build without error on my Slackware 
14.2 machine and install same. Thanks to everyone for their help to get 
me this far.

However, I seem to be seeing a few strange errors so far. Consider this 
feedback, not criticism. None of these are apparent show-stoppers to my 
production:

1) I am getting something strange when running gschem. This is a snippet 
from the Status window text:

<snip Now it gets crazy:>

filesGDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name 
org.freedesktop.Avahi was not provided by any .service files

<snip>

**********************

I am not sure if this is a gEDA bug or just some side effect of 
something gEDA does that may even work. This GDBus error is output in 
the Status window (in red) each time I select the File -> print dialog.

2) Pressing Ctrl-P does not bring up the print dialog like File -> Print 
does. I think it should. Ctrl-p does not do anything. Other apps use 
Ctrl-P properly, so it isn't a system keyboard shortcut issue. I cannot 
find a gschem keyboard shortcut assignment configuration to verify 
gschem is assigning Ctrl-p properly.

3) Selecting Tabloid (11x17) in the print dialog does not result in 
tabloid paper selection in the printer. It comes out as Letter size, but 
with the correct Landscape orientation. The resulting image is cropped, 
not scaled to fit the Letter size paper. In this instance, my printer 
should select the appropriate (Tabloid/Ledger/11x17) paper tray and use 
it correctly. It does not for some reason. Selecting a Tabloid-setup 
CUPS driver for the same physical printer to force a tabloid paper 
selection, prints tabloid properly, using the same print dialog.

Thanks and good work on 1.10.2.

Girvin
