Subject: [geda-user] some new friction between gschem and pcb

Reply-To: geda-user AT delorie DOT com

I went to Import Schematics for an old project using fairly recent
gschem and pcb and hit a problem.  Nothing happens in the pcb GUI
(including Message Log) and the console shows:

     ERROR: Could not find backend `pcbfwd' in load path.

     Run `gnetlist --list-backends' for a full list of available backends.
     Could not open actions file "/tmp/pcb.XXf5ttHn/gnetlist_output".

Ideas where to start on this one?

My gschem and pcb versions:

     $ gschem --version
     gEDA 1.10.2 (g5a69d90)

     $ pcb --version
     PCB version 4.3.0

gnetlist --list-backends shows:

     $ gnetlist --list-backends
     Invalid path [./generic_symbols] passed to component-library
