Hi John,

this looks indeed like a bug in `make install'.  The installed binaries 
have hard-coded paths to the location of the installed libraries; so 
unless you changed the destination/prefix directory after running `make', 
gschem shouldn't have problems finding the libgedacairo library.

Do you have a file `PREFIX/lib/libgedacairo.so.1'?  This is probably a 
symlink to `libgedacairo.so.1.0.3'; does that file exist, as well?  You 
can find out the path where gschem expects to find `libgedacairo.so.1' by 
running:

     ldd PREFIX/bin/gschem | grep gedacairo

Does that match the path of your `libgedacairo.so.1'?

gEDA/gaf works fine on Debian Buster, so this shouldn't be too hard to fix.

That's not quite correct.  Debian packages for gEDA/gaf 1.10.2 have been 
available for some time:

     https://mentors.debian.net/package/geda-gaf/

This issue is that no-one with the appropriate privileges could be 
bothered to upload them into the main repositories so far. :-(
