Thanks to Vladimir for the "paths to m4 files"-patch.
Unfortunately, this doesn't solve my problem.
I have a very simple demonstration project with one resistor as
file-element and one connector as m4-element.

symtest.gsch2pcb:
output-name symtest
schematics symtest-page1.sch

I have a gsch2pcb-generated gnet-gsch2pcb-tmp.scm with the following
contents:
(define gsch2pcb:pcb-m4-dir "/usr/local/share/pcb/m4")
(define gsch2pcb:use-m4 #t)

This is what happens, when I call gnetlist (like gsch2pcb does):

phil AT albus:~/gaf-neu/symtest$ gnetlist -g gsch2pcb -o symtest.pcb -m
gnet-gsch2pcb-tmp.scm symtest-page1.sch

Can you help me?
