John beat me to the punch with this piece of advice! He's right: By
specifying your search paths, you can control where your footprints
are coming from. Note that you can also put the search path
directives into a "projectrc" file, like Bill Wilson's tutorial says.
Of course, you probably alre
You can force the element paths on the gsch2pcb command line.
gsch2pcb --elements-dir ELEMENT_DIR_NAME \
--m4-pcbdir M4_DIR_NAME \
SCH_FILE_NAME
replacing ELEMENT_DIR_NAME, M4_DIR_NAME and SCH_FILE_NAME with
the appropriate values.

People,
I'm running PCB under Red Hat kernel-2.6.9.EL. The latest kernel update
was install within the last week. The kernel upgrade is the only item I
can think of that constitutes any substantial recent change to my
system.
Previously, I have been running the latest release of PCB, pretty muc

Hello John,
yes, I know this tutorial and work with it.
But the way due creation of a system link with packages fails..perhaps
for the reason that I work on a FAT32 partition?
But no problem, I simply create a sub-folder and copied all footprints
in it.
But where the library folders of PCB ~geda
There is a tutorial at
http://members.dslextreme.com/users/billw/gsch2pcb/tutorial.html that
discusses the ini files.
If you only use newlib elements and place all your footprints (or
symlinks to all your footprints)
in a single directory then the followings script can be used to go
from schematic
Hello,
I like to add by the way a question, because perhaps the answer solve both:
If I defined a footprint in SCM and run gsch2pcb,but the footprint
was'nd found.
When I opened PCB and browsed the "library" I foud exact this footprint.
Just in this moment I search in the manual for this question
Hallo,
when I try to place one of the components "TO220S", "TO220SW",
"TO126S" from group "~geda" in PCB it does not work.
In the pcb-bin-log window a message appears which reads
