> I shall upload the fixed revision soon, and include your hints. Ok, so I got kicad-4.0.0~rc1 from the package server today.
There's one thing I noticed: Version information seems to be missing. The project window title shows "no-vcs-found-product". I believe there's a script that generates version.h that does not work correctly when the sources aren't bzr-augmented. IMHO, the solution would be to just create this file with static contents for the release/rc builds. They probably forgot to include it in the upstream source package? I also hit the problem that KiCad would not find the footprint libraries, but that was a quick fix: I had them installed into /usr/share/kicad/footprints previously, but they are in /usr/share/kicad/modules now. So I just changed the path.
