EEschema fails to generate board in pcbnew

Asked by Tyler Werne

What I'm trying to acheive:
Use the EEschema sheet of the schematic project to generate a board in pcbnew.

What step I take:
Using EEschema toolbar button to generate a board on my ubuntu laptop.

What happens:
It opens pcbnew with an error message. Only option is to cancel.

The error message:

Error loading board.
PARSE_ERROR: Expecting 'number' in input/source "/home/poland/Documents/EE352/ADC/ADC-PC104.kicad_pcb", line 75, offset 23
from /build/buildd/kicad-0.20131208+bzr4024/common/dsnlexer.cpp : Expecting() : line 285

What I think should happen:
It should generate the board with the components from the netlist in the upper-right hand corner.

Does anyone know how one could fix this problem?

please post the content of 'ADC-PC104.kicad_pcb' from line 0 up to line 80..
pcbnew can't open/parse the board as the kicad_pcb file has something in line 75 at position 23 that is preventing it from working correctly.
Did you create the project in that version of KiCAD?
Do you have several kicad_pcb files in that projects folder or anything like that?

Can you help with this problem?
