Thanks this was the main clue. I did apt remove guile 1.8 and
installed 2.0.9 with its -dev package, and then did
make clean && ./configure && make && sudo make install
and it worked like charm. Thanks again.

One more thing. One of the symbols used an m4 macro "Connector 2 1"
and did not appear in the pcb, checking the terminal for gsch2pcb
verbose output, I noticed the following

CONN1: need new file element for footprint  CONNECTOR-2-1 (value=unknown)
CONN1: can't find PCB element for footprint CONNECTOR-2-1 (value=unknown)
So device CONN1 will not be in the layout.

I suspected PCBM4DIR and appended the env var to my shell dot file
.zshrc pointing to where they were installed, reloaded .zshrc and
nothing changed, then added the option inside the project file as

m4-pcbdir /usr/local/share/pcb/m4

and it worked (generating the proper connector as per the tutorial).

my question is, How to make this value a default and avoid adding it
explicitly in each project file? I tried search in the net but did not
succeed, maybe I missed the proper keywords or place to search for!

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks a third time for the responsiveness and guidance.

Regards,

Ala'a
