I have been using eagle for pcb because I had help in layout.

However, gschem is easier to use for general schematics...

I have a couple problems.

1.  Building from sources fails.  I am up-to-date with git.  build fails 
in examples/gTAG.

Assuming that is the last thing done and the remainder of the build went 
OK, I did an make install.

2.  gnetlist --list-backends fails.
I think the key is:
ERROR: no code for module (geda core smob)

p9x79> /usr/local/bin/gnetlist --list-backends

1.8.2 from the Ubuntu distribution seems OK.  However, it segfaults on 
exit.  So, I decided to build...
