On my box those files live in /usr/share/gEDA/scheme

If you happen to have a different prefix for the geda install dir you
can find the files with:

locate gnetlist.scm

The language is named "guile" (http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/) an
implementation of
"scheme" (http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/projects/scheme/) which is a
dialect of the Lisp programming language.

Google may be your friend here :)

Kind regards,
