Hi Nikos, I am new to gEDA(working on my first project for some months so far) and had similar doubts(solved) some time ago.

I see a misunderstanding here. I had the same error at the beggining. The net attribute has the syntax: NET_NAME:PIN_NUMBER_ASSOCIATED. So, in net=Vcc:1, NET_NAME = Vcc and PIN_NUMBER_ASSOCIATED = 1. The correct way would be something like net=VCC3V:1. Note the ":" character has a special meaning in net attributes, so you cannot use it as part of the identification of the net. Best Regards, Felipe. PS: Since I made the mistake on lot of nets before realizing the error and found unnecessary to explicitly write the pinnumber associated with a net in symbols with only one pin, I made a patch for gnetlist to assume an implicit ":1" suffix on nets with names lacking the pinnumber part(so you can have net=VCC3V instead of net=VCC3V:1) but you will have to apply the patch to your local copy of the code and recompile gnetlist if you want to try it out. -- Felipe De la Puente Christen Mobile Phone : +56 9 93199807 MSN/GTalk : [2]fdelapue...@gmail.com _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [3]geda-u...@moria.seul.org [4]http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user References 1. mailto:fdelapue...@gmail.com 2. mailto:fdelapue...@gmail.com 3. mailto:geda-user@moria.seul.org 4. http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
