Yes, this is one of the many reasons you need to customize symbols
for your projects. Library symbols are really just there to get you
started. There are just too many options: other developers' symbols
won't play the way *you* want for *your* project. So, copy the
symbols you're using, give them unique names, and fix them (seems
like you need to change a few net= attributes). For a small project,
I think just putting private symbols in the schematic directory is
sensible. If that's the approach, a "gafrc" file in the same
directory containing the single line:
(component-library ".")
will find your private symbols.
I've used expensive commercial EDA, and the problem and solution are
the same. This isn't unique to gEDA. There are too many components
out there, too many variations, and too many different design
conventions for a published component library to fit any specific
situation very well.
