Ok, here is what I get from today's install:

henry@Dr-Bunsen:~/kicad/LCD Driver$ pcbnew
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 3, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pcbnew
henry@Dr-Bunsen:~/kicad/LCD Driver$

It looks like the pcbnew module is not getting packaged somehow.

Here is the version Info from pcbnew:

Application: Pcbnew
Version: (2012-oct-18)-testing
Build: wxWidgets 2.8.12 (no debug,Unicode,compiler with C++ ABI
1002,GCC 4.6.3,wx containers,compatible with 2.6)
Platform: Linux 3.2.0-33-generic x86_64, 64 bit, Little endian, wxGTK
Boost version: 1.49.0
Options: USE_PCBNEW_SEXPR_FILE_FORMAT=OFF
         USE_PCBNEW_NANOMETRES=ON
         USE_PCBNEW_SEXPR_FOOTPRINT_LIBS=OFF
         KICAD_GOST=OFF
         USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF
         USE_WX_OVERLAY=OFF
         USE_BOOST_POLYGON_LIBRARY=OFF
         KICAD_SCRIPTING=ON
         KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=OFF
         KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON


Anything else I should try?
