I’m a Kicad newbie, doing my 2nd board. The first worked fine, no problems. Now when I try to load my new netlist into PCBNEW I get a strange message:
"Error loading netlist. IO_ERROR Footprint library path ‘C:\Users\paul\Documents\AVR\Capacitors_THD.pretty’ does not exist from C:/Jenkins/workspace… line 283.
And just grinds to a halt.
Who’s Jenkins? I have no directory called ‘Jenkins’. Anybody recognize this? Thanks for any help, paul
You only need to worry about the first part of the message as quoted above. The remainder of the message is just reporting the line of source code that generated the message.
Find your footprint file and correct the symbol(s) on your schematic or use CvPCB.
There may be a typing error, extra {space} character someplace, “-” versus “_”; “” versus “/”, etc. Just speculating . . . if you moved to another machine, or signed in as a different user, you may be fighting the File Access Permissions.

thanks, will diddle with CvPCB -paul
