For an unrelated reason, I upgraded from kernel 2.4.27-2-i386 to kernel 2.6.12-1-k7. After the upgrade, I started trying to diagnose the PCB problem again and it was solved. I couldn't believe it, so I rebooted to the old kernel and it broke it again. Strange. My problem is solved, but I am still curious of the real cause. I tried using strace. It does not even get as far as opening the file selected before giving the error and exiting. For example running strace pcb | grep LQFP176 and attempting to load an element named LQFP176 produces no output. Thanks for all the help. Darrell Harmon http://dlharmon.com/dspcard
