Do you mean a definitive test to see if everything is working?

What I'd do is run gschem to see if you can create a simple schematic. 
Then run gnetlist to see if you can netlist the design.  If those two 
things work, then that's most of it.

There are a number of other utilities, but I wouldn't worry about 
testing each of them.  If gschem and gnetlist are working at all, then I 
think you're past the big (if any) hurdles.  Any other issues are likely 
to be small and relatively easy to fix.
