Update: Ladies and Gentlemen - I experimented with the footprints I had developed in a unique directory (/home/comp/pwb_footprints) and had no success with "seeing" them in the pcb tool. As a point of interest: When I start the pcb tool this footprint library *directory* was identified, but the footprints themselves were not. This occurred even though I gave the directive --element-path to the pcb invocation. As an experiment, I created a "local" directory under /usr/share/pcb/newlib. I moved the footprints into this directory, changing the ownership to root with permissions of 644, and viola! - the footprints come up correctly WITH the silkscreen around them.
SO, I will place all locally developed footprints into this directory. Comments and questions are invited. Tony Radice _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
