Has anyone else here faced problems updating KiCad using the Linux install script recently ? I know it worked earlier for me as that’s how I installed it on my machine running Ubuntu 13.10.
Two problems :
The script now seems to be downloading kicad.bzr in the ~/kicad_sources/ folder, but looking for this folder in the root home folder during installation.
The kicad-lib.bzr and kicad-doc.bzr are both nested correctly under ~/kicad_sources/
The script fails at Step 6 with the following error :
common.copy /home/anool/kicad.bzr/boost_root/lib/libboost_regex.a
…updated 10898 targets…
[ 39%] No install step for ‘boost’
[ 39%] Completed ‘boost’
[ 39%] Built target boost
make: *** [all] Error 2
Any ideas ? My Linux-fu is not too strong, so any help is appreciated.
Last week I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.10 on a formatted disk, and still had the script fail as it could not detect wxwidgets 3.0 (although a check confirmed that I had it already installed). As I needed it to be up and running as soon as I could manage, I instead tried the manual install instructions at this link: http://www.kicad.org/display/DEV/Building+KiCad+on+Linux
and that worked fine - resulting in ver 5256 being installed.
I tried again today, and it still failed at step 6, but with a different error:
step 6) compiling source code…

I can post the contents of the CMakeOutput.log if someone wants to take a stab at figuring out the error.
