Library XML bug in v6.1.0

e14 Contributor

Unzip the two libs so visible in control panel.

Open IC.lbr from control panel.

Expand IC_LINEAR.lbr so devices visibile.

Drag TLV2372 from IC_LINEAR to open IC library.

Save IC.lbr and close.

Now try to open IC.lbr and get the following error:

 

Loading C:/Users/Todd/Documents/Eagle_Projects/Design_Support/Library/ICs.lbr ...

Error:

line 2554, column 9: redefinition of name 'OPAMP' in tag <symbol>

 

Open IC.lbr file in text editor and go to line 2554.  From this line on down thru the /symbol section of XML file, all symbol names have been overwritten by symbol name OP_AMP which was the symbol name of the TLV2372 and was also present in IC.lbr.  Copy from LINEAR lib to IC lib gave no warning of duplicate symbol name.  Library is now corrupt and will obviously not work.  Got to directory, delete IC.lbr file and rename library backup file created when you saved IC.lbr and repeat this process to see it happen again....

    I have a similar problem with Eagle 6.1.0 libraries.

    I created a new library and generated some new devices for my project.  I then copied some other devices from the standard libraries int my library to be modified later.

    When I then tried to use my library I received the following message:

     

    Loading C:/Program Files/ EAGLE-6.1.0/lbr/Dons Library 6.lbr ...

     

    Error:

     

    line 2643, column 9: redefinition of name 'JACK6' in tag<symbol>.

     

    My library is still listed in Eagle even though I cannot open it, but it has otherwise disappeared, and I appear to have lost all my work!!

     

    Please help!

    Hi Don,

     

    Forward the files to support@cadsoftusa.com. The beauty of XML is that

    it's pretty easy to fix if you know what you're looking for.

     

    More than likely the JACK6 symbol shows up twice in the XML definition

    and that's ilegal. Deleting one of the copies will get your library to

    load just fine.

     

    Again if you're not sure just forward it to support@cadsoftusa.com and

    we'll get back to you.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jorge Garcia

    Ah, you have to 'check' the notification box in order to remove it.  Sorta like using 'Start' to shut off your computer.  Think I've got it now....

     

     

     

    Hi,

     

    your initial posting did not make it to the nntp news groups, so this is

    the reason that you did not get an answer yet. I checked your initial

    post on element14 and looked into the libraries.

    What you describe is a problem with the current EAGLE version 6.1.0.

     

    From update.txt:

     

    - Fixed library update problem related to several parts using same

       deviceset but different gate combinations.

     

    This problme is already fixed in our current beta version.
