Hi Tibor,

Well, the uploaded LME symbol was after changing the pintype=nc to 
pintype=pas,
so the only change, really, was the footprint for the resistors. And the 
outcome
when using my own R-SMT-0805.fp was exactly the same  (of course, with 
the SMT
footprints showing instead of the through-hole ones for R025).

Did that.  It shows 1 through 15 at the correct positions.  Same for the 
resistors
(shows 1 and 2 for the two SMT pads)

I'm not sure what you're referring to in here --- what is "pcb tight"??

Also, notice that I've been using the GUI version of gsch2pcb  (I go to
Nautilus File browser, then right-click on nada-LME49811.sch and
select  "Open with gEDA Schematic -> PCB Project", like they show
in the youtube video --- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Faf2nACG34,
around minute 3:30 of the video).

Do notice that I did not create any .prj file  (on the Blinker board 
section
in the tutorial in http://www.delorie.com/pcb/docs/gs/gs.html, they do it
that way, but I could never figure out all the details, so I went with the
workflow they show in the youtube videos).

I'll keep this in mind.  I was quite busy over the weekend and will be 
today
and tomorrow, but as soon as I have some time available, I will do these
and upload files and screenshots or screen video  (this recordmydesktop
package works really well!!!!  :-) )

Thanks!
Carlos
