(source-library "./") in your gafrc.
I usually add both a source library and a component library like this in
a project gafrc:
------
; component-library string
(component-library "./sym")
; source-library string
(source-library "./sch")
------
then I create a directory called `sym' for symbol files, and 'sch' for
the schematics. I tend to have makefiles in each directory to create
symbols from text files that drive gmk_sym.
source-library adds a path to search for schematics and
component-library adds a path to search for the symbols.
Hope this helps.
