what about gnetlist -g gsch2pcb -o tmp.pcb cmeter.sch Is that broken as well? Do you have GUILE_LOAD_PATH set by any chance? Take a look at your gnetlist.log file and look for the lines which look like: Read init scm file [/opt/geda/geda-20030901/share/gEDA/scheme/gnetlist.scm] Read PCB scm file [/opt/geda/geda-20030901/share/gEDA/scheme/gnet-PCB.scm] Then use grep to look for 'primitive-fork' in that area. For example grep primitive /opt/geda/geda-20030901/share/gEDA/scheme/* You can also take a look in the gnet-PCB.scm file look for the line which looks something like: (let ((pipe (open-output-pipe (string-append "gm4 -d ......... In particular, what is the 'gm4' or 'm4' command there? Is that in your PATH. Try running m4 --version using 'gm4' if thats what you have in that spot. I probably don't care so much about the exact version but that m4 is installed and working. -Dan --
