autodeskguest

Anyone know a Ubuntu howto to install the newest eagle 5.3 on my 64-bit

Ubuntu box.  Also, does the download from the CadSoft website support

64-bit?

    Open a terminal window in Ubuntu.

     

    login as sudo

    type sh "and the directory path where you have eagele"

     

    I usually just drag and drop the eagle down load into the terminal window.

     

    As for 64bit systems I don't know if it will work.

    It does.  I just used the file on their website and it seems to work

    just fine.  I was having trouble downloading because I had my router

    firewall set to high.  I have never had any trouble with any other

    website, but after putting down to low just to download their files it

    worked fine.

    I can confirm eagle loads and works om my machine, 64 bit dual core AMD

    athlon, on Ubuntu 8.10

     

    If you upgrade from 8.04 make sure you nuke "/" and "/usr".

    It should do it but I've seen it fail.
