I have a simple (incomplete) circuit which includes a PMOS_TRANSISTOR. 
I've assigned a footprint of TO220. Although this DOES have connections 
which do show up in the netlist in PCB, when I run optimize rats nest, 
no connections appear to the device. This is driving me crazy. I tried 
deleting the component in gschem, recreating it as a PNP transistor and 
I get the same issue, even after deleting all the files created by 
gsch2pcb just to be sure I don't have something stale. Then I tried 
again with a TO92 footprint. Same problem.

The only possible clue I have is the that netlist, for the PNP, has the 
pins labeled with ECB instead of 123. Can that be the problem?

I'm an utter newbie with this, and I had no problems with the tutorial 
at http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:gsch2pcb_tutorial.

I'm running on Fedora 18, geda-gschem 1.8.1, pcb 0.20110918
