You need to have two RC files: gafrc and projectrc. Here are their contents: gafrc (leave the parens in): (component-library "/mnt/sda2/frank/gEDAfrank") projectrc (gsch2pcb RC file): schematics /mnt/sda2/frank/geda_pcb/cti/cti.sch elements-dir /mnt/sda2/frank/gEDAfrank components-dir /mnt/

John, Thanks again. I did check, but after rechecking I found a symbol without a refdes. I have the below message that appears two times, which is followed by the stdin that appears a ton of times. I have a message "Probably a parenthesis mismatch in /mnt/sda2/frank/gafrc. Most recently read f
