[ for (component-library-search ... ) you need to use:

(component-library-search "/usr/share/gEDA/sym")

The other keyword is component-library and the proper form
should look something like:

(component-library "/usr/share/gEDA/sym/local")
(component-library "/usr/share/gEDA/sym/74")

etc....  -Ales ]

	I have found some problems with the mandrake rpm install of the 
symbols.  All symbols are in the directory /usr/share/gEDA.
The system-commonrc file was not setup to look here.  Only in sub
directories of the location specified in GEDADATA.  I remarked out all
other locations and substituted /usr/share/gEDA for all searches.

ie:  (component-library-search "/usr/share/gEDA" )

This gets gschem to run, but still no symbols?
