Hi,
As this is my first efford to build Kicad from source on Ubuntu please be kind.
I have used the following instructions

http://basicubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/02/installing-kicad-on-ubuntu.html

Everything went well until this line was entered

fakeroot debian/rules binary

The build fails with the following message

----------------------------------------------------------:

Can anyone give any clues on how to get Kicad to build? Could this problem be related to the previous posts about Boost?
Thanks for your help.
