You probably need to put a gschemrc file in your local directory (where your design lives) or in your $HOME directory. In the file, put pointers to your sym libs like this:
(component-library "./sym") (component-library "/usr/local/path/to/new/sym/directory") etc. > 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. I guess I don't understand what the symlink did. Was this symlink placed in /usr/local/share/gEDA/sym/? If this is the case, you still needed to put a corresponding line in the gschemrc. Note that you'll also need to put an equivalent line into your gnetlistrc file. Stuart
