Why don't you try a different approach? You can download the latest gEDA stuff as an .iso with a bundled installer from here:
http://www.brorson.com/gEDA/ It's the first item in the second list. Follow the instructions, and the suite will be installed using an install wizard. Note that this version of the CD is very recent; I put it up so that folks could test it out before we put it on the main gEDA site. It incorporates the latest gEDA/gaf, as well as ngspice, pcb, and other goodies. Please let me know how the installer works for you. I am soliciting feedback from users during this testing period.
