People,
I need some help here. I'm trying to work with _LARGE_ symbols and
footprints. In the smaller case, over 1100 pins and in the larger case
over 1700 pins. In order to make the information more readable, I have
broken the symbols into slots, 4 in the smaller case and 6 in the larger
case.

The installer worked fine on Fedora Core 5 x86_64.I don't install from a
CD but copy the contents to a directory on the hardrive and install from
there.

Thank you!
I'll move the .iso over to seul.org shortly since most reports were

Harold,
To run gsch2pcb I have created a project1 file in which I can tell the
system which schematic pages to process (1 symbol slot per page). If I
process only 1 or 2 pages, i.e. 1 or 2 slots, the system functions
correctly and I can enter PCB and pull up the footprint and view the

no, I'm pretty certain (95%) that it is not gsch2pcb causing the
problem. It
is almost certainly gnetlist.
gnetlist -g PCB -o myfile.net mysch1.sch mysch2.sch ...
Fair enough. In the backend gnet-PCB.scm, this fcn:

I was just thinking "teach pcb to load elements directly". Then you

that would be convenient.
A path to do that could be load element to the buffer...the reverse of what we
already have...
I like all the talk lately

Nice. much more utile than "load to buffer"!

Stuart,
That was pretty much my starting point, with the same results. Thanks
for the information though, as in thinking about the problem, I wasn't
certain just what the various slot attributes were contributing, given
that there were no common pins among the *.sym elements.

Sorry, I inadvertently sent you a copy of project1 using only 2 of the
symbol slots, Test_2.sch and Test_3.sch. I can run that version
correctly as well.
I expect you will see a failure if you add Test_1.sch to the project1

I have jcl's library installed. If I specify a package name that appears
many places, like 0805, I get the m4 one from gsch2pcb. Similarly for
SO16W. If I specify a name that's unique, like DIP-18-300, then it will
find the file and use it.

I thought that might be it, but my recent hacking on autocrop led me

Probably is. If you disable the two inner layer, it's normal speed.
If you view just one inner layer, it's slow.

My first test board for PCB involved an array of LEDs, and even with just

went with each LED after the DisperseElements().
My head was filled with grandiose schemes for improving Disperse without
