Great, good to see this script getting some love to help get new 
developers (or new developer installations) started. Anyways, here's a 
patch for what's required to get it up and working on Fedora 20.

I do want to point out/ask about a couple of things:
  * What directory should this script be run from, /scripts? It looks 
like it assumes a given directory, which may not be the right one. I'd 
add the working directory checking myself, but I'm a little rusty on my 
Bash.
  * Are kicad-lib.bzr and kicad-doc.bzr supposed to manually obtained 
by the user? I get "No such file or directory" on line 202 and 211 of 
this script.
  * The script assumes you want things in ~/kicad_sources, but this 
isn't described in the help that's printed out in the usage docs. Being 
explicit about this would be good. I suggest adding a command-line 
option for the install dir and defaulting to WORKING_TREES if none is 
specified, with a prompt being shown on confirming that this option is 
alright. I would think that would cover every use case.
  * Is the Python scripting functionality still iffy? If it's not, 
should the scripting functionality be compiled by default? Might get 
some more people testing/playing with it if it's default.
  * I'm getting a bzr error: "bzr: ERROR: Invalid url supplied to 
transport: 
"bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kicad-lib-committers/kicad/library": no 
supported schemes" Any idea what this could be about? Has a library moved?
  * Lastly, I'm not seeing a curses interface to cmake, I just see tons 
of compilation notifications scrolling down. I have both ccmake and 
ncurses installed, is there something I'm missing?

I'd also be happy to help out in fixing/changing anything to get this 
script working perfectly. I think this is worth the effort to get new 
users building and playing with KiCAD.
