-====== Compiling gschem, pcb, gerbv on 11.3sru2 ======
+====== Compiling gschem, pcb, gerbv on 11.3 ======
 I have recently played a little bit with L80 Quectel GPS module and after a while decided to design PCB for the final version to be installed in my car. As usual, created schema in gschem, then tried to "Import Schematics" in pcb, but that failed. I tried with gsch2pcb as well and it didn't work either - gsch2pcb complained with "No elements found, so nothing to do." It seems I hit [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/pcb/+bug/700311//|bug 700311]] - gnetlist is confused if gschem and pcb are installed to the different locations - exactly my case after I recompiled last time.
 So I had to recompile to install into standard /usr/local location. For gschem and gerbv, I followed the procedure I had used before, but went with slightly different set of requirements for pcb:

 Since I wanted to build pcb with documentation which requires LaTeX, I had to deploy LaTeX first. It was in fact straightforward, went with [[http://www.tug.org/texlive/|TeX Live]] which is an easy way to deploy TeX/LaTeX on Unix systems.
 And since I wanted to build with [[http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solarisstudio/overview/index.html|Oracle Solaris Studio]], I had to install that as well. Went with 12.4 release installed from Oracle package repository.

+==== Missing locale.h header file (fixed in pcb 4.0.0) ====
 Compilation fails, since following files are missing <locale.h> header file:
 <code>
 $ git status -s

-M  src/hid/gtk/gui-netlist-window.c

 Adding following line to those files fixes the problem:
