Hi

The 'options->show log' button is on the menu bar that is missing.
But, the "status" window appears when gschem is started. It shows no
error:

 gEDA/gschem version 1.6.2.20110115
 gEDA/gschem comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; see COPYING for more details.

 Read system config file [/etc/gEDA/system-gafrc]
 Read system config file [/etc/gEDA/system-gschemrc]
 Read init scm file [/usr/share/gEDA/scheme/gschem.scm]
 New file [/home/breeze/untitled_1.sch]

However, I discovered that the menu bar is present when I start gschem
from a terminal
as root. So it is permission related. If I start gschem from a
terminal (command line) as a user other than root, the menu bar is
missing.

I did not do any special configuration that I am aware of. I installed
with ubuntu's

 # apt-get install ...

I installed gschem, pcb, *-dev, *-doc, *-utils, etc...

I prefer running it as root anyway.
