OK, so I'm a newbie.  When I copy downloaded symbols into the directory 
structure (/usr/local/share/gEDA/sym under OpenBSD) sometimes I can see 
them in gschem and sometimes not.  Does not seeing them mean there's 
something wrong with those symbols or is there something else I have to 
do, maybe analogous to mkfontdir to regenerate the indexes?  I CVSed a 
bunch from gedasymbols.org but I don't think I'm seeing all of them.  More 
recently I got an NE602 symbol from 
http://custard.restall.net/geda/index.php but I don't see it.  Do names 
have to be unique or only within directories?

Thank you,
