John, It is already enabled in system-gschemrc. (attribute-promotion "enabled")
I am getting a somwehat additional error. I put all the refdes and footprint attributes manually, pass through refdes_renum and when I do gsch2pcb I get a single: "could no find refdes on component and could not find any special attributes!" followed by a ton of: "stdin:27: m4: Bad expression in eval: /4" My setup is a Knoppix live CD. My schematic is frank/geda_pcb/cti.sch, my symbol components are in frank/gEDAfrank, Any ideas? I list my config files that I created in the design file directory. (The .log files confirm that they are read). I did not create a PCB file or .inc file yet.
