gnetlist crashes

[Dr M]

Running gsch2pcb, results in a gnetlist crash. Here is the error listing:

After the following command, it runs without crashing

rm -rv ./.cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/home/nelson/geda/share/gEDA/scheme/

[Roland Lutz (rlutz)]

This appears to be a mismatch between the cached version of the Guile files and the currently run version of gEDA/gaf. I remember having encountered this problem but can't reproduce it.

I suppose Guile's policy on re-using compiled files is too permissive here. We could report this upstream, but I don't think it's worth the trouble as removing the ~/.cache/guile/ccache/ directory resolved the issue.
