If this is my one -- I have replaced the footprint at gedasymbols about
10 days ago, looks better now. The old was OK, but did not fit very
well. Please consider downloading again.

Your problem may result from the minus sign in the footprint name, this
can have special meaning for M4 macro processor. I have disabled M4
footprints on my box, because for all a newlib copy is available. But
gsch2pcb uses M4 by default. To disable M4 you may put "skip-m4" in your
gsch2pcb project file like

stefan@AMD64-X2 ~/gEDA/DAD $ cat p1
schematics FPGA_Power.sch FPGA_B0B1.sch FPGA_B2B3.sch RAM.sch ADC.sch 
output-name b1
skip-m4
elements-dir /usr/local/share/pcb-symbols-jcl_2008-4-25
elements-dir /home/stefan/gEDA/imported-footprints
elements-dir /mnt/data/stefan/gedasymbols/www/user/stefan_salewski/footprints
elements-dir /home/stefan/gEDA/custom-footprints

Or you may try to rename the footprint, remove the "-".

Best regards
