The tools which matter are gnetlist, gschem, gattrib. These will all use libgeda, load your gafrc, and will exhibit the same behaviour. > In the past I have deleted all duplicate files in /usr/share/gEDA.

There has been talk of moving the provided symbols into different collections, essentially shipping a very light set, with the existing collection being broken down into optional packages. What is wrong with the existing symbols which requires you to make your own? (Consistent drawing style, errors in the shipped symbols?) If there are problems with the shipped syms. it would be good to know so they could possibly be fixed. > So my question is: Can I ignore the gschem report about duplicate > symbols (and live with these duplicates)? I think so, but like you say.. renaming your symbols is another option.
