I've assigned a footprint of TO220. Although this DOES have connections which do show up in the netlist in PCB, when I run optimize rats nest, no connections appear to the device. This is driving me crazy. I tried deleting the component in gschem, recreating it as a PNP transistor and I get the same issue, even after deleting all the files created by gsch2pcb just to be sure I don't have something stale. Then I tried again with a TO92 footprint. Same problem. The only possible clue I have is the that netlist, for the PNP, has the pins labeled with ECB instead of 123. Can that be the problem? I'm an utter newbie with this, and I had no problems with the tutorial at http://wiki.geda-project.org/geda:gsch2pcb_tutorial. I'm running on Fedora 18, geda-gschem 1.8.1, pcb 0.20110918 roland -- PGP Key ID: 66 BC 3B CD Roland B.
