> that guy is certainly not worth spending any time on Frankly, it often seems it is GNU that is not worth the time. Today I made another attempt to run gschem from gEDA suite. What a waste of time! What EE has the time to figure out he needed a major upgrade to his OS (Mandrake 8.2 to 9.1) in order to run the application? Backward compatibility seems to be unheard of in the GNU crowd. This is multiple times as bad as it is in the Apple Mac world. Funny - I actually got to use gschem, by downloading the CygWin port and running it under Windows 98. It is easy to sympathize with those who take MS superiority for granted.

It certainly hasnothing to do with your inability to upgrade the components required, rather than the whole OS (that's a Windows thing).
