That solves the segfault but introduces a new error.

As directed, I started PCB, named it "test", and saved the empty layout to "test.pcb".

I then copied one of my known good schematics into the same directory as the
empty layout, and named it "test.sch".

When I "import schematic", a one-line message appears in the log window
indicating that rats can't be added because no netlist has been loaded,
nothing visible happens to the empty layout, and this appears on the
controlling terminal:

vanessa@rainbird ~ $ pcb
Loading schematic [/home/vanessa/test.sch]
Failed to read pcblf scm file [/usr/share/gEDA/scheme/gnet-pcblf.scm]
Backtrace:
In current input:

<unnamed port>:1:1: Unbound variable: pcblf
Could not open actions file "/tmp/pcb.XX3Wyuoz/gnetlist_output".


At this point I have an empty layout and PCB is waiting for me to do something
with it (i.e. it seems normal.
