Comment (by terramircomputers@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 emer@…]:
 > They are often used together, but they do not require each other. The
 latest versions include some scripts if you want to use PCB with geda, but
 there is no requirement to do so. That said, I'd like to see where exactly
 these errors were showing up.

 Logically pcb is part of the gEDA package, as well as traditionally. I
 don't know why PCB would be taken out. While you can use pcb without the
 other tools, and you can use gschem without pcb the tool chain really
 requires both in order to do what the entire tool chain is designed to do.
 When you download, at least traditionally I dunno if this changed gEDA for
 linux or the windows port the package was complete with pcb, gschem and
 the other tools . The usual way to design a pcb is to do the schematic and
 the load it into pcb and let the tool chain do it's job before editing,
 however because gschem is missing a lot of component packages and gschem
 is kinda hard to use some people choose to use PCB manually.
 they really belong together though
