Erc unconnected pin error with directive labels

Hello,
Can someone help me understand what the ERC is trying to tell me?

Apologies for the way the images are posted, but as a newbie apparently I can only post one picture, so it’s gonna be a big one

I have a fairly simple set of directive labels.
but when I do an ERC, I get the following message: “Pin Not Connected”.

I’ve also tried deleting and rerouting a new wire, but I still get the same error.

Note that if I drag (G), they remain connected. I also tried adding junctions, but that didn’t help either.

I’m attempting to get off Eagle and go to KiCad so am deep in newbie territory.
Version 7.0.7, release build on Windows.

Thank you for any help you can give me,

Basil

You have used the wrong label types. You have used Net Class Directive Labels, and the only thing those do is put a net in a specific netclass. These labels do not make connections at all.

The simplest solution is to replace all the GNDQ labels with GND symbols from the “Power” library, and replace the +Vs label with one of the power symbols from the power library, similar to the +9V symbol you have used.

Update KiCad. The current version is V7.0.9. Increments in the third digit are bug fix release, and these releases are made about once a month. Each month around 70 bugs are fixed. You can see an overview of this on Release Notes | KiCad EDA
