I an a new user of gEDA and have completed one single level schematic and am working on a second schematic. This second one has a top level page with a lower level section repeated four times. After a lot of reading on the web, looking at the examples, and experimentation, I have created the symbol for the underlying sheet and added pins for the connections to the circuits. I have given the pins labels, type, number, and sequence numbers. I added the "source=" attribute pointing to my underlying schematic file. In the schematic source I have added six in-1.sym and two out-1.sym connectors and have assigned a refdes to each equal to the label of the pins on the upper level symbol for the schematic. From the top level schematic, I can use the "Down Schematic" and "Down Symbol" functions to navigate between them all.
When I run gnetlist -g drc2 on the lower level schematic, it says that there are no errors and no warnings but does complain that I have eight pins that do not have a type attribute and then names the eight IO connectors by their refdes attributes. When I run the same command on the top level schematic, I get a long list of "Duplicated references for every symbol in the underlying schematic, I get another list for duplicate slot 1 of every symbol, and I get errors on three of my inputs, listing the components to which they should have been connected, saying the nets connect to only one pin. The other three inputs and the two outputs are fine. In fact, if I run gnetlist -g pads to create a net list, one of the three nets that that says it only has one pin connected, actually has the complete list of pins that should have been connected, including pins on the top level and into the lower level schematics. That now leaves me with two nets that don't connect between the upper and lower levels and I can't figure out what is going on. They all have the same types of pins, attributes, etc. I am evidently doing something wrong and I need some help in pointing me in the right direction.
