Debian Etch.
  

  

    
How did you install it in the first place?  Windows installer?  Zip
file?  Tarball (.tar.gz or .tar.bz2)? RPM?
    

  

  

I can't to remember.. I think it was from tar.bz2.
  





I use etch, too.  AFAIK, there's no .deb package for Etch... so you
probably did do the tarball.




Installation instructions for the binary tarball are in this link: ;
http://brlcad.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/brlcad/brlcad/INSTALL?revision=14.15&pathrev=rel-7-10-4



To upgrade you'll do something like this:




$ su -

password: (root password)

# mkdir /root/brlcad-tmp

# cd /root/brlcad-tmp

# tar xjf /path/to/brlcad_7.10.4_linux_ia32.tar.bz2


# cd /usr

# mv -i brlcad brlcad-old

# mv -i /root/brlcad-tmp/usr/brlcad .

# rm -rf brlcad-old

# rm -rf /root/brlcad-tmp

# exit

$ mged



If you're worried about losing something in brlcad-old, don't delete it
until your confident.



Hope this helps,

Gabriel
