This #@ stuff looks like something got munged during the build/install
process. 

Ummm, can you please describe the steps you made to download, open,
and build the various programs?  The normal procedure for a manual
build looks like this:

	- Install all the dependencies (glib, gtk, and guile).
	- Download all source packages and the toplevel Makefile. 
        - If you are building the CVS version, then you must also have
          autoconf, automake, libtool, and gettext installed.
	- Untar all packages in a directory and place toplevel Makefile 
          in this same directory. 
	- [OPTIONAL] Edit Makefile changing prefix to a different install 
          directory other than the default ($HOME/geda)
	- Type: make
	- Follow instructions on setting all the shell variables.
	- Set shell variables.  *VERY IMPORTANT*
	- Type: make install
 	- Read the release notes for more information and last minute issues.
	- Read the docs in: ${prefix}/share/doc/geda-doc/gedadocs.html
	- Run: gschem and play! :-)
