The sending message twice thing is pretty weird. I assure you, I' m only sending it once; must be an msn thing. I'd apologize, but I stopped apologizing for Microsoft long ago. As for getting around the errors, I told how I did it in a previous post, I just mv'ed the doc directory created by untarring the utils to the properly-named utils directory and then untared the doc directory. Yes, after sending my message, I did some reading up and it looks like a LOT was changed. gschemrc is still valid, but the color-changing stuff has been changed. my old gschemrc is: [code] ;(load (string-append gedadatarc "/gschem-lightbg")) ; light background ; raise-dialog-boxes-on-expose string ; ; Controls if dialog boxes are raised whenever an expose event happens ; Default is enabled ; ;(raise-dialog-boxes-on-expose "enabled") (raise-dialog-boxes-on-expose "disabled") ;(log-window "later") ; disable status window on startup (image-color "disabled") ; for monochromoe PNG output ;(load (string-append gedadatarc "/gschem-lightbg")) ; light background (load (string-append gedadata "/scheme/auto-uref.scm")) ; load the autonumbering script (add-hook! add-component-hook auto-uref) ; autonumber when adding a component (add-hook! copy-component-hook auto-uref) ; autonumber when copying a component [/code] I, indeed, had to go into system-gschemrc to make changes to the background color. [code] my new one has this in it with no problems: (image-color "disabled") ; for monochromoe PNG output (output-color "disabled") ; for monochrome postscript output (print-command "kprinter") [/code] I originally followed this web site: http://www.derekhildreth.com/blog/how-to-change-the-background-color-i n-geda-tutorial/ but then found I could just uncomment and comment out the color lines regarding bg in the system-gschemrc file.

I think for 1.4.3 there is no .gEDA/gschemrc, I > think there somewhere a something like system-gschemrc and maybe a > gschemrc in the project directories. >
