Call me old fashioned, but instead of a scheme backtrace pointing into 4300 lines long scheme boot code (without even telling its full path), I would find a "File not found: <full path to the file that is actually missing>" more useful. The bug is easy to reproduce: take a clean system where gschem is not installed, compile everything but don't install, then cd gschem/src and run ./gschem (the shell wrapper). Regards, Igor2
