Hi Peter Brett and All,

Thank you very much for pointing out my mistake in the setup
instruction,  the correct way is:

    (load-from-path "gsch-tools-menu.scm")

So here is the corrected setup description:

Notes to install  gsch-tools-menu.scm file:

  (1) Copy the gsch-tools-menu.scm file to /usr/share/gEDA/scheme/ 
directory.
 (2) Add the following line (without the semi-colon) at the end of
     system-gschemrc file, normally under /usr/share/gEDA/ folder:

    (load-from-path "gsch-tools-menu.scm")

 (3) Run gschem, you should see the Tools menu in gschem window.

Attached is the gsch-tools-menu.scm file with the corrected installation
instruction.

Best Regards,

Paul Tan

Does (load-from-path "/scheme/gsch-tools-menu.scm") not work?
