	No, you are doing everything right.  make xinstall and setup
are the newest members of the gEDA/gaf family and hence still need some
polishing.  For now, I recommend the manual (make install) or even more
manual (cd package; ./configure --prefix=...; make install) approach.

	This is my fault.  I didn't update the setup config file when
I released 20030901.  I will correct this in the next release.

	Did you install pcb?  It is not part of gEDA/gaf.
