Apologies for the delay, I was busy. OK, configured with
'--without-libstroke', recompiled & installed, and found the
executable /usr/local/bin/gschem. However, when I try launching it, it
immediately crashes with the following output:

        ~ > gschem
        Backtrace:
        In ice-9/boot-9.scm:
         157: 1 [catch #t #<catch-closure 958400> ...]
        In unknown file:
           ?: 0 [apply-smob/1 #<catch-closure 958400>]

        ERROR: In procedure apply-smob/1:
        ERROR: In procedure scm_to_utf8_stringn: Wrong type argument in
        position 1 (expecting string): #f

Nothing I can understand here.

When I start the version ~/geda-gaf/gschem/src/gschem (so in the local
git tree), gschem does actually start, but nothing seems to have
changed. It still exhibits the same weird bugs.

Checked again with a 'watch ls' command in a terminal, but as long as
BOTH the status window and the sidebar are opened, no PDF is written.

As soon as I close one of the two secondary windows, the PDF file
immediately appears.

But don't go through too much trouble. It's perfectly workable, just as
long as I close the status bar right after starting gschem.

Best regards,
