Matt,

Don't worry! Your not wasting our time. The truth is that many of us here
are somewhat blind to the defects present in the software packaged in the
repositories. We don't produce "release" versions very often so most of us
have had to get in the habit of compiling from source.

If you'd like to try out the latest and greatest version of PCB you should
do the following: (also there is a building from source guide here:
http://git.geda-project.org/pcb/plain/README.git)

[1] make an empty directory (optional) and open a terminal there.

[1] sudo apt-get install build-essential git

-> you need these packages on your system to build and download the source
code

[2] sudo apt-get build-dep pcb

-> this will automatically install most of the developmental (*-dev)
packages needed to build PCB on your system

[3] git clone git://git.geda-project.org/pcb.git

-> This fetches the latest and greatest source code and puts it in a folder
named "pcb" in the current directory.

[4] Go to that directory in your terminal and run the following commands in
order:
[5] ./autogen.sh
[6] ./configure --disable-nls --disable-doc
[7] make

and if there were no error you can then type

[8] ./src/pcbtest.sh

to run PCB.


Credit goes to Markus as the source of these build instructions. I simply
annotated them.
