Hi,

   From your picture it looks like you have used lines to connect your components.  You need to use nets, put the mouse cursor over one of the red dots on the ends of the pins, and hit 'n'. Draw the nets between the pins like this to make electrical connections. 

  When two nets cross without a connection, they will just intersect. When the end of one net touches another, a round red dot will automatically appear. Open ends on nets will have a square dot on them so you can see where the ends are not connecting. 

  A common drawing style to help a reader of your shematic determine if two nets should be conected is to never connect four nets at the same point. Always stagger the nets apart so you get two round dots. Reserve the case where two nets just cross over each other for just that. (This is the situation that you used the arc to jump over your other net)

Hope this helps.  I think there is a getting started guide on the wiki for you.

Hi guys,

   I have made my first drawing using gEDA.  I have some questions about
using gEDA.  In the drawing I used an 'arc' to jump over one of the
'traces'.  Is the a better way to show that lines are not connected?
