You're right I confused gschem and pcb :)

Now the PCB compiles. But if I do make install, it goes OK too, but I
don't get an executable:
clock@kestrel:~$ pcb
bash: pcb: command not found

updatedb and locate pcb doesn't show any pcb executable neither in /usr/bin
nor in /usr/local/bin/. Actually it doesn't print anything that looks like
a pcb executable.
