Beware! pstoedit 3.74 needs a recent gcc version! I have gcc 5.3 and despite the pstoedit 3.74 readme.txt stating that it will compile with gcc 3.0 or above, it had fatal compile errors with gcc 5.3. I contacted the pstoedit author and he suggested updating my gcc. pstoedit 3.70 compiles fine with gcc 5.3.

The command=C2=A0line I use is:

pstoedit -q -f "pcb" -ssp file.eps file.pcb

Make sure it's pstoedit 3.74 which I download from sourceforge and compile from source. 3.73 which Ubuntu has in its repos is broken.
