grep footprint= *.sch | sort -u and post the result. My guess is you have a footprint name which is not a valid identifier for m4. If you have a "-" (that is a dash, not an underscore) for example as the footprint name it will cause problems. -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
