Re: gEDA-user: gnetlist errors



Stuart,

I've reviewed the tutorial and am following that flow - partially.  What I'm really doing is porting a bunch of layout and schematics from another CAD tool into gschem.  I'm not actually drawing schematics at this time (but I soon will).  I've used PCB for a number of boards with pretty good results.  The difference is now am trying (for the first time) to use the entire gEDA flow rather than just parts of it.

After putting everything in a clean directory and correcting a typo pointed at by a previous post (Thanks!) I now have a usable netlist.

Thanks for the help.

Joe T
