Hi all, I've been a member for a few months, and reading the postings, but only now actually trying to use Kicad (I'm a student in my last term, and haven't had a need - or the time - before this). My issue may have been addressed before now, but I can't remember, and can't find any posts.
I've built the latest stable version (20100314) from source (for Ubuntu 9.10 on AMD64 X2 machine), but when I open EESchema it can't find any of the libraries. I assume this is because they aren't included in the source archive, but I can't find a library archive file on any of the Kicad sites that I can download, and I'm not sure into which directory I should extract it (/usr/local/share/kicad/ ?). If someone could kindly point me to the Kicad library archive file (.tar.gz, .tgz, .zip, whatever), and give me a hint as to where I extract it, I will be forever grateful. BTW: I've been using Eagle for circuit board design, but only because when I was looking for a Linux ECAD application Kicad didn't show up in my searches (and Eagle was cheapest/best I could find). I can no longer afford to keep updating to the latest version, and prefer FOSS, so here I am.
