Re: gEDA-user: Empty netlist file!

[dfro@xxxxxxxxx]

Steven,

I created a .sch file, '~/gaf/myprojects/avr_projects/avr_device1 
folder/avr_device1.sch' and ran gsch2pcb on it.

Here is the command line output when I try to load the netlist file 
'~/gaf/myprojects/avr_projects/avr_device1 folder/avr_device1.net' into 
'~/gaf/myprojects/avr_projects/avr_device1 folder/avr_device1.pcb':

...
Action: Load(Netlist)
Load:  Calling LoadFrom(Netlist, 
/home/dfro/gaf/myprojects/avr_projects/avr_device1 folder/avr_device1.net)
Action: 
LoadFrom(Netlist,/home/dfro/gaf/myprojects/avr_projects/avr_device1 
folder/avr_device1.net)
EvaluateFilename:
         Template: cat %f
         Path: (null)
         Filename: /home/dfro/gaf/myprojects/avr_projects/avr_device1 
folder/avr_device1.net
         Parameter: (null)
EvaluateFilename: cat /home/dfro/gaf/myprojects/avr_projects/avr_device1 
folder/avr_device1.net
cat: /home/dfro/gaf/myprojects/avr_projects/avr_device1: No such file or 
directory
cat: folder/avr_device1.net: No such file or directory

The last two lines seem to indicate that the program is getting confused 
by the space in the file's immediate directory. The 'EvaluateFilename:' 
line does not seem to be confused, though.

Thanks,

Dave
