Try to uninstall the geda packages you have installed. You'll be able
to install them again any time you want using your package manager after
doing 'make uninstall' in the source repository. I've just tried to
install the Debian geda version and got the same result you have after
doing 'gschem/src/gschem'.

I think the problem could be in the way Debian/Ubuntu places its rc
files and/or the place where gschem searches for them. Probably some
setting of the environment variable GEDADATA could help. I didn't try
setting it though.

In your case, you could also try to configure with another prefix, say
'./configure --prefix=/tmp/gEDA' and run /tmp/gEDA/bin/gschem. This
should work.
