I was hoping someone other could comment today -- I have not used
gEDA/PCB for many years now...

Looking at your one.sch you sent yesterday that seems to be very wrong:

v 20140308 2
C 40000 40000 0 0 0 title-B.sym
C 50700 49100 1 0 0 input-2.sym
{
T 50100 48900 5 10 1 0 0 0 1
net=driver:16
T 51300 49800 5 10 0 0 0 0 1
device=none
T 51200 49200 5 10 1 1 0 7 1
value=G1
}
C 52100 47000 1 180 0 output-2.sym
{
T 51200 46800 5 10 1 0 180 0 1
net=driver:9

input-2.sym and output-2.sym are symbols with one pin only. You can use
these to define one net name with an attribute like "net=driver9:1".
Right to the : there have to be digit 1 always, mapping this net to the
one and only pin of this symbol. Here you define a net called driver9
which will be connected to other pins with exactly this name. Yes it it
not very easy to understand, I think I have needed more than a week to
get it working ten years ago, and I think documentation is not really
better now. Sorry.
