# gsch2pcb

## Where is the gsch2pcb tutorial?

Currently, the best information about this is contained in Bill Wilson’s outstanding tutorial.
This page will grow later to contain answers to FAQs posted on the geda-user list.

There is a wrapper script for gsch2pcb called sch2pcb. Read about it in the pcb_tips section of this wiki.

## Where can I download gsch2pcb?

gsch2pcb is part of gEDA/gaf, in the utils. It is normally installed by default (along with everything else) if you install the entirety of gEDA/gaf. If you don’t have it installed on your machine for some reason you can either download the utils tarball from:

- http://geda.seul.org/download.html

or grab it directly from CVS at:

- http://cvs.seul.org/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/eda/geda/gaf/utils/src/

## gsch2pcb can't find some of my footprints, or errors out. What can I do to diagnose my problem?

Try running gsch2pcb in double verbose mode: “gsch2pcb -v -v”. This will produce lots of spew telling you where gsch2pcb is looking while it tries to find footprints. It will also tell you where it does find the footprints it uses.
