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.

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.

2. 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.

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