I'm trying to understand this case better. 
 
In what situation would you name your initial file foo.pcb when running 
pcb-rnd instead of foo.lht knowing your Makefile expects foo.lht for 
lihata?
 
Or are you trying to create a geda/pcb file using pcb-rnd? (Why?) And if 
so, isn't "save as" a better/safer option if you explicitly want to make 
sure you start a new file in an alien format (instead of depending on the 
guessing mechanism, whatever it does or however reliably it works)?
 
 
TIA,
 
Igor2
