Great with all the progress going on in gEDA - I think everything seems
to be improving a lot these days! :)
I do however have a problem with gschem in the current anonymous CVS. I
get "ERROR: Wrong number of arguments to add-component" and program exit
when I try to insert a component using the shortcut "i" or from the menu
Add->Component. It works just fine, when I use the button on the
toolbar. Any idea why this happens to me?
I have tried to search through the code to solve it myself, but I get
sort of confused with all the scheme stuff mixed in - I guess I'll have
to spend more time reading and understanding the code before I can start
to contribute. :(
Something only slightly related:
I tried to find a statement I could put in my local gafrc file to
"flush" or clear the component-list, but I couldn't find it. Does it exist?
(It is because I like having a minimal list of symbols, that I trust and
only copy in those that I need. So far I just overwrite system-gafrc.)
