Special thanks to David J S Briscoe <david@djsbriscoe.vispa.com>
The first thing I did was follow this page up to the running kicad section
http://basicubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/02/installing-kicad-on-ubuntu.html
This resulted in the error message detailed in this post

The build fails with the following message

The next step was to remove any libboost 1.34 libraries using the apt-get
remove command (can't remember the exact commands I used) as the Ubuntu 9.04
(Jaunty) repositories only had the 1.34 version available.
After this I installed the boost 1.37 libraries
using this command
---------------------------------------
sudo apt-get install libboost1.37-dev
---------------------------------------
This pulled down all the required files and dependencies (as far as I
know-how do I check this?)
I then entered the following command
---------------------------------------
fakeroot debian/rules binary
---------------------------------------
and everything was built properly (I saw a few warnings flash past-will
these be logged anywhere?)
I was left with a bunch of debian packaged files. I installed the main one,
the common one and an English language documentation one (I can supply more
details if needed later as I am not using Ubuntu at the moment).
The first link above describes moving the libraries and other files into the
same place as the compiled executables. I didn't do this, so I have a
duplicate installation.
The above method needs some fine tuning and improvements. If you can let me
know of a tidier way of compiling Kicad please let me know.
Maybe there is a way of automating things with scripts, my Linux knowledge
doesn't go that far, yet.
Ubuntu (8.04)
