I suspect that you're using a version of gEDA compiled against guile 1.8, prior to a necessary fix. Guile 1.8 doesn't support "nil" any more. The best plan is to upgrade to the latest gEDA release (1.4.0), as it has _MANY_ bug fixes. How / where did you get gEDA from? (compiled from source / distro package - which distro and version?) Alternatively, find the .scm files in /usr/share/gEDA/scheme, and find occurrences of "nil" using "grep nil *.scm". The substitutions suitable are either "#f" or "'()" (no quotes in either case). I'd use #f unless the comments around that usage suggest the variable is a list. I'd not trust the output netlist to be correct unless this is fixed, since as soon as the ERROR: .... is emitted, no further processing takes place. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
