gEDA-bug: [Bug 806686] Re: misleading error message by gsch2pcb

Hi Eivind,

Thanks for the patch -- it looks pretty sensible.  Unfortunately, it
needs a commit message that both explains what sort of errors it
improves handling for and contains the line:

Affects-bug: lp-806686

so that our bug robot will Do The Right Thing when it gets committed.
If you could please post an updated patch, I will commit it.

Thanks!

                            Peter

Title:
  misleading error message by gsch2pcb

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
   gsch2pcb will report an error related to M4 options if gnetlist
  cannot find libgeda. This is of course not very helpful.

  To reproduce:

  1) make sure, libgeda is not found. E.g. move the link libgeda.so.40
  out of the way.

  2) call gsch2pcb with some project file
  The script dies with this error message:
  /--------------------
  gsch2pcb: gnetlist command failed, `stromverteiler.new.pcb' not updated
      At least gnetlist 20030901 is required for m4-xxx options.
  \--------------------

  gnetlist alone produces a more useful message:
  /--------------------
  gnetlist: error while loading shared libraries: libgeda.so.40: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  \--------------------

  Suggestion: Forward any gnetlist errors to the user.
  Do not report m4 when just guessing from circumstances.
