Change the pin names to numbers in the schematic symbol files. Then the footprint pin numbers will map to schematic symbol pin numbers.
Yeah, like John pointed out this is a problem with the symbol ${geda install dir}/share/gEDA/sym/analog/npn-2.sym. It uses B, C,
and E as the pin numbers. The pinnumber needs to be a number, and the numbers should correspond to the numbers on the footprint you want to use. Do this: 1. Figure out how your preferred footprint is numbered. 2. Copy npn-2.sym into a local symbol directory under your project directory. Call it symbols/ 3. Edit your local gafrc file to include the line (component-library "./symbols") 4. Edit the copy of npn-2.sym in ./symbols. Number each pin to correspond to your footprint's numbering scheme. 5. Nuke your old netlist. 6. Re-run gsch2pcb, and then re-read teh netlist into PCB. 7. Please file a bug report at the gEDA Bugzilla site about this symbol. FWIW, I did a shortened version of the above, and was able to get rats attached to the TO-92s after I changed the transistor's pinnumber attributes to numbers.
