It's finding the resistors, diodes and opto isolators, just not the connector.
I think my directories are set up OK.

I went through the tutorial, and knew R025 was a possible footprint. Had a
look for the
list of footprints and couldn't find it. Found R025 in pcblib.contents, in the
second
field, so decided I needed to put whatever was in the closest-matching second
field into
gschem 'footprint' field. However, that doesn't tell me which parameters the
particular
footprint takes (if any)...
Basically, I need to know which bits from this:
PC_Centronics:SUBD_FEMALE_LAY:PC-centronics:PC Centronics Connector
PC_V24_9P:SUBD_MALE_LAY:PC-RS232:PC V24 9-pins
PC_V24_25P:SUBD_MALE_LAY:PC-RS232:PC V24 25-pins
SCSI_SE:CONNECTOR:single-ended SCSI:single-ended SCSI 2x25 pins
SUBD_9F:SUBD_FEMALE_LAY:9f:SUB-D female 9 pins
SUBD_9M:SUBD_MALE_LAY:9m:SUB-D male 9 pins
SUBD_15F:SUBD_FEMALE_LAY:15f:SUB-D female 15 pins
SUBD_15M:SUBD_MALE_LAY:15m:SUB-D male 15 pins
SUBD_25F:SUBD_FEMALE_LAY:25f:SUB-D female 25 pins
SUBD_25M:SUBD_MALE_LAY:25m:SUB-D male 25 pins
I have to enter into gschem. I've tried quite a few combinations, but nothing
worked.
Either the errors above, or the connector was left off the PCB.

Sorry - I mean a 9-way PC RS232 connector?
