Hi - first make sure you installed librecad-doc package, it should be
automatically installed but is listed as a "recommends" which on some
systems isn't installed.
If it is installed, you can grab the librecad package from Debian unstable.
Download librecad (for your architecture), librecad-data, and librecad-doc from:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/libr/librecad/to an empty directory, then run the command:
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
in that directory.
There is also a preview version for Ubuntu (which may also work for
LMDE.) Instructions are available:
http://librecad.org/cms/home/installation/linux.htmlLMDE is as good of a distribution as any for librecad, and if you have
the package from debian testing then it has been shown to already
work. Can you run:
$ dpkg -s librecad | grep Version
and let me know what the output is?
