gEDA-user: Hi.... first post

Hi guys,

I'm new to this list, and I've just begun exploring gschem and PCB
a week or so back. Thought I'd introduce myself.

I am an engineer by qualification and am interested in audio system
building. Hence my need for a circuit design environment. I have
used Eagle (the free version) for a few years, and  designed a
few PCBs with it. I like Eagle a lot, and I began looking around for
an alternative purely because of the board size limit of 6.4"x4"
for non-profit Eagle licences. Now I have discovered gschem and
PCB, I'd really like to use this for the foreseeable future if I can.

If you have time to kill, you can poke around at
http://www.dhandanought.org/tcpip/site/ or check postings by "tcpip"
on www.diyaudio.com

I am a veteran user of Unix (since 1990 or so) and Linux (since
kernel version 1.0.8) I use Windows only to run speaker design
applications like Unibox (needs MS Excel) or Speaker Workshop,
or run complex PPT presentations.

I tried building a simple toy schematic using gschem and pushing
it to PCB, but my netlist is not showing all the connections, because
the pin names (numbers?) of the transistor symbols in the
schematic are not matching with the TO92 pin names (numbers?)
in the footprint, even after I run the .cmd file generated by gsch2pcb.

Can you please help?

If you want to see the test schematic and associated files, please
check http://www.dhandanought.org/tcpip/audio/EXP/geda-probs/

Thanks,

Tarun
