Of course I did NOT... and having done so, gschem starts up
and works great.  :-)  Thanks for the tip.

Problems:

Release version (1.7.1)

- I get about four error dialogs whenever it is started: errors
  that the 'gafrc' file can't be found in various locations.

- Graphical quirks in the symbol browser tree view (no expanders)
  and in file chooser dialog (file icons appear and disappear
  randomly as mouse moves over them).  Fortunately these are fixed
  in the snapshot build, and overall the new snapshot version has a
  much tighter feel to the GTK UI.

Snapshot version (2012-03-18)

- Many icons in the gschem toolbar are replaced with 'x' icons, as
  if the associated icon image is not found.
  
  I see an error in the gschem log window that says “Could not find
  image at file: C:\geda...\share\gEDA\bitmap\gschem-comp.xpm.”.
  Now, I looked and these files do in fact exist in this location,
  and I can open and view them with GVIM (I just discovered GVIM
  has a really cool colored view of XPM files!).

  Note that I have the same problem with the pcb application in
  this snapshot -- the pcb tool palette buttons are tiny (about
  10x10 pixels, perhaps) and blank instead of having an icon.

Regards,
Colin
