	Here's something to try.  Run guile and type:

primitive-fork 

	at the guile> prompt.  On my machine it outputs:

#<primitive-procedure primitive-fork>

	which is what I expect.  On your machine this should fail with
an unbound variable error message. 

	If it does fail, that means that just your guile install is somehow
fubar.  It would be interesting to _just_ rebuild guile (but don't install it),
point gschem and friends at the build directories (at runtime, without
a gEDA rebuild) and see if that fixes the problem.  Doing this is
fairly easy.

	Rebuilding guile is as simple as (should be):

	tar xvfz guile-1.6.4.tar.gz
	cd guile-1.6.4
	./configure 
	make
