Had to re-install XUbuntu, now 13.04 64 bit instead of 12.04 32 bit. Now qcad 3.0.0 professional isn't working any more (bash won't execute qcad-bin), even after fresh re-install. I tried qcad-3.0.0-prof-linux-alt-x86.tar.gz and qcad-3.0.0-prof-linux-x86.tar.gz downloaded 20.07.2012 (I can not download anything and can not get updates because payment is more than 12 months ago).
