+Special thanks to David J S Briscoe <david@djsbriscoe.vispa.com>
+
+The first thing I did was follow this page up to the running kicad section
+
+http://basicubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/02/installing-kicad-on-ubuntu.html
+
+This resulted in the error message detailed in this post

+The build fails with the following message

+The next step was to remove any libboost 1.34 libraries using the apt-get
+remove command (can't remember the exact commands I used) as the Ubuntu 9.04
+(Jaunty) repositories only had the 1.34 version available.
+
+After this I installed the boost 1.37 libraries
+using this command
+
+---------------------------------------
+sudo apt-get install libboost1.37-dev
+---------------------------------------
+
+This pulled down all the required files and dependencies (as far as I
+know-how do I check this?)
+
+I then entered the following command
+
+---------------------------------------
+fakeroot debian/rules binary
+---------------------------------------
+
+and everything was built properly (I saw a few warnings flash past-will
+these be logged anywhere?)
+
+I was left with a bunch of debian packaged files. I installed the main one,
+the common one and an English language documentation one (I can supply more
+details if needed later as I am not using Ubuntu at the moment).
+
+The first link above describes moving the libraries and other files into the
+same place as the compiled executables. I didn't do this, so I have a
+duplicate installation.
+The above method needs some fine tuning and improvements. If you can let me
+know of a tidier way of compiling Kicad please let me know.
+Maybe there is a way of automating things with scripts, my Linux knowledge
+doesn't go that far, yet.
