Subject: [geda-user] Using gattrib with pinless, non-electrical components?

Following some advice given to me last year, I've been trying to 
describe some non-electrical hardware components (e.g. fasteners, 
spacers etc) on a separate .sch sheet, so that I can generate a non-pcb 
BOM via gattrib. This is to create a list of all possible project parts.

Problem: gattrib won't even start up when I point it at this 
non-electrical sheet, despite using the -q (quiet) switch, and complains 
that there are no pins defined at all.

I would welcome any suggestions and advice at this stage.

Kind regards,
Matt.
