What SPICE netlister are you using? The preferred one is spice-sdb. Do this from the command line:

gnetlist -v -g spice-sdb -o mydesign.cir mydesign.sch

the -v flag will cause gnetlist to spew verbose debug info, which you can use to track down problems.

: M15 O1 12 b2 ERROR_INVALID_PIN ERROR_INVALID_PIN ERROR_INVALID_PIN tft0 : l=9e-6 w=4.8e-3

Also, please post your .sch file, since that can also help us understand where gnetlist fails for you.

I was having multiple instances of same components and that was giving me the problems. I am still struggling getting the subckt to work inside gschem. Can you tell me what is quick way of creating a symbol and a subckt

Thanks

PS: Also is there a way to get rid of that name Bas Gieltjes coming on my netlist. People think I am copying someone's work here. Who is this narcissist.

  1. Use spice-sdb. That will fix many of your problems & wil get rid of Bas's name in your netlist.

  1. Embedding a .subckt into your desing is covered in this part of the online gEDA/SPICE HOWTO:

Scroll down to the bottom of the page.

  1. For better help, post your .sch files.
