It has been a while since I used these and I think my problem is the 
result of installing pcb from the repository (dnf install ...) and 
gschem from source since it isn't in the repository now. Or at least if 
it is there I can't figure out the name.

The error when I try to import a netlist is:

ERROR: Could not find backend `pcbfwd' in load path.

Is there some magic in the gschem build that I should be doing?

It looks like pcb is installed to /usr/share/pcb while "which gschem" 
yields "/usr/local/bin/gschem". There is a /usr/share/gEDA directory but 
there is justs one file in it.
