I have asked questions about PCB's import feature before. I have followed the postings on this matter by Colin D Bennett and DJ Delorie of Oct. 23-24, 2012. I took a good look at the documentation here:

I want to import two gschem pages. The import feature kind of works on my system (stock gEDA from the 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10 repos) when I invoke the 'ImportGUI(gnetlist)' command; it prompts me for the first file, which I select, but then it gives me a bunch of warnings that it could not find footprints and could not change symbols. I did create a 'pcb.settings' file in the same directory where the gschem files reside (from where I invoke) with the line 'lib-newlib = ./packages' (a soft link to my custom footprint directory, which has been declared in the project file and 'gnetlist' finds without a problem), per Colin's posting, but that did not help. Before opening the file with pcb, I even inserted two lines with the editor

Attribute("import::src0" "Path to first file")
Attribute("import::src1" "Path to second file")

but when I opened the file with pcb, I got warnings about illegal files.  I just want to use Import[GUI]() with the gnetlist option.  I see no import GUI either.   What am I missing?  I think an example of Import[GUI]() use would be very helpful.
