Hi: I've been using the Debian gEDA suite for some time and have been working on a 1KW Power Supply. I have had no end of frustration with the gafrc file setup. The latest is that gschem refuses to find two of my symbols. A big red triange shows on the schematic. I've really run out of ideas. My setup is as follows:
Debian Lenny system with linux 2.6.26-2-686 File setup - /home/gary/gaf/PFC_1kwRegulator/<project .sch files> /home/gary/gaf/PFC_1kwRegulator/project /home/gary/gaf/gafrc /home/gary/gaf/gschem-sym (my personal symbol library ) /home/gary/gaf/gschem-sym/IR1150-1.sym (one of the missing symbols) My project file is: #List all the schematics to be netlisted #and laid out on the pc board. schematics /home/gary/gaf/PFC_1KwRegulator/PFC_1KwRegulatorP2.sch # #For an output-naem of foo, gsch2pcb generates files #foo.net, foo.pcb and foo.new.pcb. If there is no #output-name specified, the file names are derived from #the first listed schematic, i.e. forst.net, etc. # #Path to elements directories elements-dir /home/gary/gaf/pcb-elements/Epcos elements-dir /home/gary/gaf/pcb-elements/Fairchild elements-dir /home/gary/gaf/pcb-elements/General elements-dir /home/gary/gaf/pcb-elements/IR elements-dir /home/gary/gaf/pcb-elements/Magnetics elements-dir /home/gary/gaf/pcb-elements/MCC elements-dir /home/gary/gaf/pcb-elements/Ohmite elements-dir /home/gary/gaf/pcb-elements/Panasonic elements-dir /home/gary/gaf/pcb-elements/Vishay My gafrc file is: (component-library "/home/gary/gaf/gschem-sym/Diode-syms") (component-library "/home/gary/gaf/gschem-sym/General-syms") (component-library "/home/gary/gaf/gschem-sym/IC-syms") (component-library "/home/gary/gaf/gschem-sym/Inductor-syms") (component-library "/home/gary/gaf/gschem-sym/Switch-syms") (component-library "/home/gary/gaf/gschem-sym/Transistor-syms") My gschem-sym/IC-syms/IR1150-1.sym file is: v 20080127 1 B 300 0 1800 1700 3 0 0 0 -1 -1 0 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 T 1000 700 5 10 1 1 0 0 1 refdes=U?
