Okay. To answer your original question, you probably want something like:

(define homedir "/home/user1/TapeDrive/")
(component-library (build-path homedir "gschem-sym"))

Does that do what you need? "${FOO}" interpolation only works for
environment variables, not Scheme variables.

gEDA/gaf 1.8.1 will be available in the Fedora repos soon.
