Pardon me if I am just being obtuse, but I could find no easy way to add an
image or artwork to a layout. I've tried pstoedit but that utility (in
addition to being broken if you are in a directory path that has a space in it)
only works for text.
Because I am under the gun, I had to gin up

I would suggest installing the modified library in your own space and leaving
the system-wide library alone. Clearly, the problem is ownership and
permissions of the file and its containing directory. These probably should be
owned by root and should not be writable by any other user - its
I agree with everyone else, it's a permissions problem.
When you install kicad manually there is a part of the install where you
have to do a chmod operation ( /usr/local/kicad/bin and run chmod
755 * )
When you transferred things over some permissions may have been upset, It
will depend on how
After changing user name for the files permissions it went well (it's actually
not the name that is stored, but the user ID, which use to be a nubmer counting
from 500 and up...)
now I got the libraries still in /usr/share but with myself as the only
user that can change in it. (Nobody
Ok I generated a ASCII PBM File logo.pbm
I created the plain text file convert.awk
installed gawk
then ran it to create the output file the selects the output.
awk -f convert.awk logo.pbm art.out
I created logo.mod in kicad
I Edited Logo.mod by adding the text in art.out before $EndMODULE
the script didn't stop on a 70 x 70 pixel file. I left it running hopeing it
would stop the file was over a gig...

OK, I suck. My first code did not properly handle the case of a line that
starts with the fg color, much less an entire line of fg color. Let's try this
again (sorry that Yahoo eats my indentation):

# This script will take an ASCII PBM BW file and convert it
Hmmm, that doesn't sound too good. It looks like I really didn't handle the
foreground/background color selection too well. Try swapping fg and bg in
the script. I don't know any easy way to automatically determine which is
which. Let me take a stab at it today and see what I can some up
For fun, make the first line of the awk script:
#!/usr/bin/awk -f
(obviously use the path to your awk). Change the (I call it reformat.awk)
script mode to executable and you can now:
./reformat.awk logo.pbm logo.mod
And you're half way there - just edit to move the DS lines before
