I previously had a version of gschem working successfully. I tried to install
tclspice and connect it to gschem and then gschem gave me seg faults on
startup.

I cleaned the old gschem off my system and then downloaded all of the gEDA/gaf
tarballs.  I followed the isntructions in the top level Makefile explicitly,
including the exports of the various environment variables.  I could not use
"make xinstall" because it exit-ed on error as follows:

Checking for tar ...
Checking for gcc ...
Checking for wget ...
Checking for libglib ...
Checking for libgtk ...
Checking for geda-setup ...
Using CVS version of geda-setup and setup.cfg ...
Starting geda-setup ...
./setup.sh: line 160: 27498 Segmentation fault      ./geda-setup
make: *** [xinstall] Error 139

I then cleaned everything up and tried "make install".  This appeared to build
everything successfully.
However, when I enter "gschem", I get:

gEDA/gschem version 20040111
gEDA/gschem comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; see COPYING for more details.

Segmentation fault

I have no idea how to find this problem.  I would _really_ like to get gschem
running, however.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Peter
