It's trying to open 'prolog.ps' because it does not know where to find the 
actual prolog file.  Your system-gafrc is missing the command to tell it 
where to look.

Okay, this is what you are missing in your system-gafrc:


-----
; postscript-prolog
;
;  Sets the name of the postscript prolog file that will be 
; pasted into the postscript output after the DSC comments, but
; before the main script.
(postscript-prolog "${GEDADATA}/prolog.ps")
-----


This command will appear in your system-gafrc if you also download and 
install the latest symbols tarball. This is where system-gafrc is shipped.  
I added this in the system-gafrc because this is where the global paths are 
set up, and it is the logical place to add it.  Usually most people download 
all the tarballs and install all the tools, instead of just one or two of 
them.  I think that the recommended proceedure for updating a gEDA 
installation has been to always download and install all the parts.  Note 
that there are several other important paths set up in that file, so other 
things may not work for you either, if they have changed since your last 
install of the symbols package.
