I've just solved problem with not being able to compile xgsch2pcb from git
repository source on latest Debian Jessie GNU/Linux distribution which 
sits on
my desktop computer. Here I come with patch and tiny how to which every 
one can
implement by itself until one of gEDA developer with write permission commit
patch and it's additional step to the repository.

Brief problem description
=========================
If you clone source code from xgsch2pcb git repository and try to compile it
on Debian Wheezy or later or any other distro that have version of 
automake tool
 >= 1.11 you will probably end up with this two lines error:

Makefile.am:33: error: 'pkglibdir' is not a legitimate directory for 
'PYTHON'
Makefile.am:25: error: 'pkglibdir' is not a legitimate directory for 
'PYTHON'

Question how to solve it was asked by Philipp Klostermann on Jun 05 2014 at
geda-help mailing list and then filled as bug report by Stephen Besch on 
2015-03-26
at Launchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/geda/+bug/1436941)


Here is quick solution
======================
1) Apply provided patch to ./Makefile.am file (HEAD revision)

$ cd xgsch2pcb
$ patch -p1 < Makefile.am.patch

2) Replace "py-compile" file in xgsch2pcb folder by that one from actually
    installed automake

$ mv ./py-compile ./py-compile.old
$ cp /usr/share/automake-1.14/py-compile ./


Additional info
===============
In latest stable Debian distribution Jessie is automake version 1.14. But
general changes comes a lot earlier. I wasn't able to successfuly compile
xgsch2pcb from automake version 1.11.

According to automake online manual 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Python)
changes has to be made on 3 lines (25, 33, 60) in Makefile.am file of 
xgsch2pcb
or you can apply provided patch as noted above. Then the compilation 
will run without
above error.

After you apply provided patch copy "py-compile" file from actual 
automake folder or you
stuck on following error when you try to run "make install":

./py-compile: Missing argument to --destdir.

Stefano Lattarini describe what has to be done in his message 
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-automake/2012-06/msg00012.html):

 >>  ../py-compile: Missing argument to --destdir.
 >>
 >This is likely happening because the maintainer have updated his 
Makefiles to
 >Automake 1.12, but forgot to update the 'py-compile' script.  So this 
is a user
 >error, not an Automake's fault.

And in his message 
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2011-06/msg00056.html)
he provide patch which clarifies why it has to be done. The patch he 
provided is
already included in automake 1.14. So only above mentioned copy 
operation will
be enough.
