I went through some of this a few weeks ago, forgot, and now it's a nuisance again.
When you get the latest from:

http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:gaf_building_git_version

When I do a configure, compile, I get no errors, but:
a gschem with no menus, and "greyed out" settings.

I have this in the env:

GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/usr/local/share/gEDA/scheme

Any suggestions?  This was triggered by Arnoud's oscopy announcement.

Maybe his works with 1.8 just as well but I'd like to have the year old version
at least working fully.  How to do that?
