I have problem with gsch2pcb and

I added this one to .sch file run gsch2pcb on it and get this result:

U1: can't find PCB element for footprint TQFP64 (value=unknown)
So device U1 will not be in the layout.

Other packages like DIP or SO are working but when I try to add any of *QPF* I got the same problem.

Is there something I'm missing?

I'm have geda 20060123 and pcb 20060422 on gentoo x86.

sounds like you don't have the right name. Try "TQFP64_14" instead of "TQFP64". This would be a good candidate for IPC names and IPC footprints but I haven't had time to do it. To help get the right footprint name, open up the library browser in PCB or look at http://www.gedasymbols.org/footprints/ and the ~geda library. The correct footprint name is a link to a preview.

I'll take the opportunity to warn that descriptions like "64 pin TQFP" are dangerous. QFP's come in 0.5, 0.65, 0.8, and possibly 0.4 mm pin pitch so you may find two QFP's with the same pin count but different pin pitch.
