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.
