Loaded into pcb directly, or brought in when used as a footprint
attribute attached to a symbol?

Now I can't get ANY footprint to load from the symbol. 

I am using gsch2pcb version 1.4

Check the footprint attribute on the symbol and verifiy that the attribute
value is the same as the footprint name (no whitespace or
additional characters). If you accidentally entered a whitespace character
in emacs your footprint may not load.

I've spent all evening screwing with this ... trying various
combinations of different footprints, changing attributes using
gattrib or editing the symbols (either in emacs or using gschem) and
I can't get it to work.


You may want to post a *simple* schematic that demonstrates the problem.
