This is how gsch2pcb responds if the project file it is called with
contains things it does not understand or if it can't find the file 
in the first place. (IMHO, gsch2pcb could do a better job to communicate
the reason for failure to the user)

What does your project file contain?
By the way: I'd give a more distinctive name to the project file.  
For example:
	T14511.g2p

Ouups. PCB does not reside at sourceforge anymore.
I'll file a patch.

Seems like you have a some config files in places where you don't 
expect them. You may check the log window of gschem to see, what 
config files are loaded. Is there any difference?

Apart from the not found symbols, this tells you that you 
did not tell gnetlist what to do after it is done with reading 
the schematic. Use "gnetlist -g $BACKEND foobar.sch" to do so. 
replace $BACKEND with one of the supported backends  
More information on command line options with
	gnetlist --help 

Hope, this helps,
