Good evening,

I hope I am addressing the correct list here; if it's not the case, please ignore this mail and send me to the correct place...

I am a long (really... ) user of xcircuit which I find the best software for drawing circuits; it's the only one where I am even faster than drawing freehand.

I am testing now Ubuntu Gnome 14.04; and this morning I was checking xcircuit (which has seen an upgrade from 3.7.24 to 3.7.55) and I discovered that my libraries (and I think some of my files) are read incorrectly. I am almost sure that this is my error or a distro error, but I was not able to find the problem.

I have one $HOME/.xcircuitrc-3.7 which has this structure (complete file: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7191781/ ):

    global XCOps
    set XCOps(liboverride) 1

    library make generic        ;# create empty library 1
    library make utility        ;# create empty library 2

    library 1 load generic
    library 1 load analog     -replace
    library 1 load digital    -replace

    config search lib ".:/home/romano/lib/xcircuit:$XCIRCUIT_LIB_DIR"

    library 2 load utility

    set XCOps(spiceend) false
    set XCOps(schema) false

...and the utility.lps file is the following one (start of it, complete file at http://paste.ubuntu.com/7191797/ ):

    %! PostScript set of library objects for XCircuit
    %  Version: 3.1
    %  Library name is: utility.lps

    /RinOhm_Cinf {
    % -64 -32 115 74 bbox
    begingate

    (\245) {/Symbol cf} 2 16 0 1.00 16 -32 label
    endgate
    } def

this works ok (since at least ten years...) in my Ubuntu 13.10 xcircuit 3.7.22 version. This is the library loaded: http://imgur.com/SSunsym

Now I checked the same in Ubuntu 14.10, with xcircuit 3.7.55, and I have this fearful result: http://imgur.com/2iNnABw

As you can see, I have a lot of errors of the kind "parameter arrowhead was used but not defined" which make me suspicious of some kind of bad installation. Can anyone help me on this? Thank you very much!
