actually it all depends on the quality of your milling machine, mine
was not so good so I had some distorsions, but the code itself is
right.

For geda/gaf, the instructions are pretty clear. The only question I have
is what I should set in Fedora for the environment variables PATH,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
For pcb, the cvs instructions on that page are pretty generic cvs
instructions. Anything speci
Beware that --enable-doc is the default, but will fail without
--enable-maintainer-mode (which makes some of the needed images). So
choose one of
--disable-doc
or
--enable-maintainer-mode --enable-doc
Otherwise the make will fail in the doc which interferes with make install.
