[Fwd: Fritzing for Education spin ?]

[Sebastian Dziallas]

Okay, so after looking into it, I think we should really try to get 
Fritzing on the image for the next release (upcoming within 10 days).

What is a bit worrisome is that Fritzing apparently checks for it's 
symbol files only in sub-directories of the location of the binary file.

This of course prevents - as Chitlesh stated - a useful installation 
using RPM. Does anybody have an idea how to work around or patch this?

If not, I guess we'll just pull and extract the tarball somewhere...
