2008-01-19 Thread a r
Hi, There is a notion of a current library in gEDA (the one that can be set with: (component-library dir-name) (source-library dir-name) ). Now, what if I have multiple (sourcecomponent) libraries that I want to use? How to add them all so that they are visible in gschem? And how to select a
