Did you build the version from git HEAD, or a recent release? I can't quite recall when "--enable-dbus" became a default-on option, but if it is not switched on, then xgsch2pcb will not work. git HEAD defaults to --enable-dbus being on. There is also a new "File" -> "Import Schematics" option which DJ produced, which you might like to look at as an alternative to xgsch2pcb. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
