This happens when you have a version of libgeda already installed on
your box, then you install a different version of gEDA.  Running the
second version of gschem finds the first version of libgeda when
you run it, causing an immediate segfault.

You need to clean out the cruft left behind from previous gEDA
installations, then re-install.

Yes, you need to set some environment variables before you try to
build gEDA.  Here's the helpful spew generated by "make":

----------------------  <spew>  ------------------------
Before executing any of the above targets, set the below shell
variables.  The build process _will fail_ if you do not set
these variables!  You will also need to set these variables to
run the programs.

gEDA/gaf will be installed into /usr/local/geda

For vanilla bourne shells:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/geda/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=/usr/local/geda/bin:${PATH}
export PATH
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

For bash:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/geda/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/geda/bin:${PATH}
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

For csh/tcsh shell:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/geda/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
setenv PATH /usr/local/geda/bin:$PATH
setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/geda/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
----------------------  </spew>  ------------------------

Finally, I'd say that you should get rid of old gEDA sos and
executables before trying a new install.  Besides the place where you
tried to install the build you make, make sure you look into /lib,
/usr/lib, and /usr/local/lib to find and remove any old gEDA files.

HTH,

Stuart
