I removed that line from the text and now I'm see "N 55500 45200 53300 45200 4" on the schematic where the U9 was. Should I just select that text in the schematic and delete it? I don't feel comfortable doing that. Are all those lines between what appears to be two capacitor state

gEDA-user: Building PCB so it uses my footprint directory

Last time I built PCB, I screwed up and made several footprint directories and different tools seemed to use different ones. Now I want to make certain that it will use the current directory I am using: /usr/share/pcb, and not /usr/local/share/pcb. How can I make it do this? __
