That is somewhat strange. Does your termnal's startup script setup paths
to gEDA and its libraries?

Normally, you can't just launch gschem directly from a menu if it isn't
installed on a system path. Even if you hard-code the path to gschem, it
will load libgeda.so frmo /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, ignoring the
correct matching libgeda.so wherever you installed the program. The same
applies to gschem launched via xgsch2pcb of course.

The fact gattib works may just be a fluke if there are only minor
libgeda version mismatches. pcb has no non-standard library
dependencies, so would not be affected.

This is a harmless warning, which could / should probably be removed.

Please feel free to contribute a "fr" locale translation, either working
from a downloaded translation template:
https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/geda/trunk/+pots/geda-xgsch2pcb

Or directly online with launchpad.
