Keith,

On my old machine at home I'm still running Hardy. I just did a:

sudo apt-get install geda

and when I start it up, this appears in a Status dialog:

I get a component layout grid and when I Add parts they appear quite nicely.

If you Google your error:
"Did not find required system-gschemrc file [/etc/gEDA/system-gschemrc]"

...there are quite a few hits.
