This worked!

That sounds good.

But a few problems remain.

1. The same toolbar icons are missing. The files missing in the error
message are present at the locations stated below:
Could not find image at file: C:\Program
Files\gEDA\share\gEDA\bitmap\gschem-comp.xpm.
Could not find image at file: C:\Program
Files\gEDA\share\gEDA\bitmap\gschem-net.xpm.
Could not find image at file: C:\Program
Files\gEDA\share\gEDA\bitmap\gschem-bus.xpm.
Could not find image at file: C:\Program
Files\gEDA\share\gEDA\bitmap\gschem-text.xpm.
Could not find image at file: C:\Program
Files\gEDA\share\gEDA\bitmap\gschem-select.xpm.

2. I have a subdirectory of my project directory called 'sym' which
contains project-local schematic symbols, and a project-local gafrc
file with the line "(component-library "sym")". I'm getting the
following messages:
Parsed config from [c:\users\ericwetz\downloads\dcard.git\gafrc]
Loading schematic [C:\Users\ericwetz\Downloads\dcard.git\dcard_cpu.sch]
Library name [sym] already in use.  Using [sym<1>].
Parsed config from [c:\users\ericwetz\downloads\dcard.git\gafrc]
More than one component found with name [mc9s12c64mfa.sym]
More than one component found with name [jumper.sym]
More than one component found with name [header6-2.sym]
More than one component found with name [crystal-2.sym]

And there are two components libraries called sym and sym<1>. This
isn't actually causing any problems, but it doesn't seem right.

3. If I make a change to the schematic and quit without saving, a
backup file is created: #filename.sch#. When I open the schematic, it
asks if I want to load the backup file or the original. Regardless of
which I choose, this message appears in the log and the file remains
undeleted:
s_page_delete: Unable to delete backup file
c:\users\ericwetz\downloads\ms2clone.git\#ms2clone_cpu.sch#.

I appreciate your willingness to help, and none of these problems are
keeping me from using gschem now. Just figured I would write them up
as I noticed them.

Thanks,
