It sounds like you might not be using a recent enough version of gEDA to
be compatible with guile 1.8.

It should work, and we rooted out the instances of "nil" some time back
when this first showed up..

You might be able to fix it, find where you installed geda, e.g.
for /usr/local, go to:

/usr/local/share/gEDA/scheme

and "grep nil *.scm"

The only leftovers I have are:
pcb.scm:  (let ((f nil))
pcb.scm:  (let ((f def nil))

If you have others, open up the .scm file and replace the "nil" with
"#f".

Best wishes,

Peter C.
