Huh, so something as innocuous as a copyright symbol can cause a system lock-up. Who'd-a thunk that. The problem in question: the file gschem/src/x_dialog.c contains a unicode symbol, the copyright symbol (©). When `xgettext' is called during the `make' procedure, it chokes on that symbol because

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had footprints for some ATX connectors, namely the 4-pin Molex 8981 (AMP MATE-N-LOK) connector (male) and the ATX 20+4 motherboard connector (also male). I'm working on a project that's powered by an ATX supply, but I can't find footprints for the connectors.
