Dick, If the EESchema executable you're running is located in /usr/local/bin or /usr/local is in your PATH environment variable, /usr/local/share/kicad/library should be in the list (assuming it exists) of default search paths. If not, then this is definitely a bug. I've run into similar problems when running EESchema from build folders depending on where I have my Kicad libraries installed. The best solution I've found is to set the KICAD environment variable to point to the base path to my library files.
