(source-library "./") in your gafrc.

I usually add both a source library and a component library like this in
a project gafrc:

------
; component-library string

(component-library "./sym")

; source-library string

(source-library "./sch")
------

then I create a directory called `sym' for symbol files, and 'sch' for
the schematics.  I tend to have makefiles in each directory to create
symbols from text files that drive gmk_sym.

source-library adds a path to search for schematics and
component-library adds a path to search for the symbols.

Hope this helps.

Mike
