Although I don't use the m4 lib directly, it is still a valuable (and
convinient) resource of footprints. If one of them fits my needs, I
derive a newlib style footprint with Save buffer elements... from the
buffer menu.

 Subject: gEDA-user: gsch2pcb search order
 
 I am using the suggested project file invocation of gsch2pcb which
 allows
 it to succesfully find both m4 and newlib footprints:
 schematics mnaxbow_1.sch mnaxbow_2.sch
 elements-dir /usr/local/share/geda/share/pcb/newlib
 m4-pcbdir /usr/local/share/geda/share/pcb/m4
 output-name mnaxbowout
 
   Unfortunately, it searches M4 before newlib for things like 0805, 0603
 resistors, etc.  Does anyone know how to force it to check newlib first?
 I
 tried changing the order in the project file, and no luck.  Before you
 suggest just deleting the m4 entry, I must say that I'm still using a few
 parts from it that I can't find anywhere and I'm too lazy to make myself.

What does your gsch2pcb line look like?

The --use-files switch didn't work?
