How are you launching xgsch2pcb.. from the command line, or from the
desktop environment?
Looking at the code in xgsch2pcb, it finds the executable paths by
calling this function:
def find_tool_path (tool):
which = commands.getstatusoutput("which %s" % tool)
if which[0]:
return None
return which[1]
So - the next thing to test is.. from where you are launching xgsch2pcb,
what output do you get from :
"which pcb"
and
"which gsch2pcb"
If which can't find those executables, that is what you need to fix.
As a further suggestion - I believe gsch2pcb (not xgsch2pcb) plays a lot
nicer when you install it in the same prefix as PCB. It helps it to find
the footprints.
Alternatively, you might investigate setting the PCBDATA environment
variable to locate the m4 libraries. (This path automatically
has /pcb/m4 appended to it inside gsch2pcb). Sadly there is no
environment variable override for the newlib paths.
To fix properly, you need to build gEDA with the PCB paths configured at
build time. Configure gEDA with:
./configure ..... --with-pcb-datadir=/opt/pcb-20100929
Personally, I still all "gEDA" stuff under a "geda" prefix, and find
everything just works nicely.
