Hi Vladimir,

Setting PCBDATA didn't work also. I'm searching inside system wide
config files, but do not know which one is affecting 'pcb' as I'm
trying to replicate what gsch2pcb is doing when it is creating a
temperary scm config file. the line I try defining is

(define m4-pcbdir "/usr/local/share/pcb/m4")

Ala'a
