But, now there is a new CadSoft Eagle problem for all of us that renders the whole project moot. Apparently my freebie copy of eagle has timed out, the screen it opens is about 75% transparent and extremely bleached out, rendering it unusable. Not IMO unusual at all, they really want to sell the $4799/copy version. This now makes the 3rd time that the freebie download has died on me in about 6 months time each, forcing me to go get a fresh copy. And I rarely use it, generally only for a viewer because I've never figured out how to use it (and the freebies undo never worked either) So I went and downloaded the newest freebie version, but when I do the usual "wine name_of_program.exe" to install it, the install bails out, claiming it needs a libpng14.so but mine is 12.so. So I check the dvd's I just burnt of the just released 2 weeks ago CENTOS-6.2. Opps, same library. Looking at my uptodate 10.04 LTS install, it also has libpng12.so. I have to assume that is intentional. That was last friday so I wrote CadSoft an email asking what linux distribution was using that bleeding edge of a libpng.so library. And of course no reply since there is no support for the freebie version. What I intended was to let them know that they have effectively thrown the linux market under the bus. If I have to run fedora to get that library, then I will do without. I bailed on that distro 3 years ago because I was tired of being treated like a lab rat because there was always something that didn't work, and it was usually fairly important, like printing, or a half busted tcp stack that used 75% of the cpus to manage a 180k/sec download. And those sorts of 'bugs', when reported to bugzilla, are always cleared with a "won't fix" message. Scroooom. It seems everytime we locate some grand and glorious new CAD/CAM pony, and I go get it, there is always something it needs which the 2 distros I use (PCLos-2011, ubuntu-10.04 LTS) don't have. The latest HeeksCad version .18, runs great under wine, but now we are told to use FreeCad, but I have yet to get it to build on either of these machines, and of course there are zero docs, I think because all these coders are writing what they think is autocad, assuming everyone knows how to run autocad. But its 4 to 6 digit$/copy and I have never to my knowledge ever been in the same county with a copy of it. I got interested in emc because it does have great docs, an extreme rarity in the linux world for technically complex programs. The guys who write those docs, you know who you are, are amazing. Occasionally a bit too concise but I sure couldn't do it as well, so many thanks. rant mode off I guess, I am resigned to tape, drafting mylar, photo-resist & very dangerous chemistry if I want to design pcb boards, I have been doing it that way since about 1959 now. Yup, I had fingerprints in the tv cameras that were on the Trieste when it went down 37,000+ feet into the mohole in Feb 1960. I didn't design those boards, Joe Pettit did the design & etching, but quite a bit of the soldering I did do. Then when I was at KOTA-TV in RCSD in the later '60's, I did the whole bit for several projects we built in-house. But lets put that in the proper perspective: That, and $1.42 will get you a 16 oz coffee to go at 7-11. :) Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
