Hi Chris,

	It basically needs to know that it exists so it can install it 
later.

	I think it should fail, because I consider gschem2pcb sort of 
an important part of gnetlist. 	Not having it there is almost equivalent
to removing one of the .c files.

	It has to be in the Makefile, otherwise it will not be installed. 
The error message you are getting is similar to:

make: *** No rule to make target `gschem2pcb', needed by `all-am'.  Stop.

	Yeah, I think that is the right thing to do.

PS. Do you want me to send you a copy of gschem2pcb. <grin> :)
