Does > anyone know what is causing this and how to fix it? this message is printed when gEDA/gaf looks up a symbol and finds multiple symbol files with a matching filename. This means that either there are multiple "generic-power.sym" in one library, or more than one library has a "generic-power.sym". If these are the same file (e.g. because one library has erroneously been included multiple times), this message can safely be ignored. Otherwise, it indicates a potential error source since gEDA/gaf just picks one of the "generic-power.sym" and proceeds. (It may be argued this should be a hard error instead of a warning.) The solution is simple: make sure there is only one "generic-power.sym" in your library. Roland --8323329-1131503324-1579785084=:2060--
