Yes, it exists

Yes:

gEDA data directory: /sw/share/gEDA
gEDA RC file directory: /sw/etc/gEDA

Yes.

Probably parenthesis mismatch in /sw/etc/gEDA/system-gschemrc
Most recently read form: (#@display (build-path geda-rc-path gschem-darkbg))


It would almost seem that the build-path stuff is borked somehow.

I changed the line to read:

(load "/sw/etc/gEDA/gschem-darkbg") ; dark background

And it loaded the background, at least.  Bombed again at:

Probably parenthesis mismatch in /sw/etc/gEDA/system-gschemrc
Most recently read form: (#@load-from-path default-attrib-positions.scm)

I don't see a 'geda.scm' anywhere:

plutonium:/sw root# find . | grep geda.scm
./share/doc/geda-doc/wiki/geda_scm.html
./share/gEDA/scheme/gnet-geda.scm

Maybe I am missing something?  Regardless, my older, working version on my
other mac lacks this file as well, so maybe not.

Thanks a bunch for your help debugging this.
