Since pcb-rnd has an official package for ubuntu, an alternative is=20
 
apt-get build-dep pcb-rnd =20
 
which should install any package that was required building the version=20
(and configuration) of the official package.

There are really no requirements, only options. For each option you need=20
to decide if you want to use that feature or not. For example you=20
installed libmotif-dev, so you will be able to run the lesstif HID (as an=
=20
alternative to the gtk2 HID). But most users won't do that, so installing=
=20
libmotif is not required.
 
For fungw, you need to decide if you want embedded scripting. We have a=20
pool node about all possible scripting at
 
http://repo.hu/cgi-bin/pool.cgi?cmd=3Dshow&node=3DIscript
 
The ones marked fungw will be affected by your choice.

We have a very incomplete user guide at
 
http://repo.hu/cgi-bin/pool.cgi?cmd=3Dshow&node=3DIuguide
 
We have an user manual in the svn, at trunk/doc/user/index.html, also=20
accessible online at
 
http://repo.hu/projects/pcb-rnd/user/index.html
 
This one is more complete, but is not a tutorial, rather a description of=
=20
the software. I recommend reading through it, especially the data model=20
part (chapter 2), because using any EDA/CAD is really manipulating data=20
(board data in our case) so it's important to have a good understanding on=
=20
that data.
 
Plus you can always ask here or on IRC.
 
HTH,
 
Igor2
