Thanks for reading this. Gschem doesn't find my custom parts directory. I have done a fair bit of head-scratching etc, but it didn't help much.
With the 2003 versions, I used a symlink that pointed to a components directory under my $HOME dir, and any self-created parts would go there, and could be retrieved from there. With 20040111, this trick doesn't appear to work anymore. Adding a directory under /usr/local/share/gEDA/sym, and putting the components there didn't help. File and directory permissions were set identically to the 'official' component directories. In fact, even copying /usr/local/share/gEDA/sym/4000 to /usr/local/share/gEDA/sym/anything ..does not make the 'anything' library show up in gschem, even after a program restart. The normal parts are all there. Are the component paths being cached somewhere? I must be missing something blatantly obvious. Any pointers appreciated. The system is Linux (Mandrake 9.1) and gEDA is a standard build/install from sources. I use the system-wide rc files. Wilbert.
