Hi all,

I created the following directory structure:
[krud AT specht schaltung]$ tree testdir_for_pcb_libs/
testdir_for_pcb_libs/
├── m4
│   ├── own.inc
│   ├── own.list
│   └── own.m4
└── pcblib.contents

The files have the following content:

[krud AT specht schaltung]$ cat testdir_for_pcb_libs/m4/own.inc
define(`PKG_ALF100', `PKG_DIODE_LAY(`$1', `$2', `$3',  100)')
define(`PKG_ALF200', `PKG_DIODE_LAY(`$1', `$2', `$3',  200)')

[krud AT specht schaltung]$ cat testdir_for_pcb_libs/m4/own.list
geda_ALF100:ALF100:ALF100
geda_ALF200:ALF200:ALF200

[krud AT specht schaltung]$ cat testdir_for_pcb_libs/m4/own.m4
define(`Description_geda_ALF100',   ``Axial diode (pin 1 is cathode)'')
define(`Description_geda_ALF200',   ``Axial diode (pin 1 is cathode)'')


[krud AT specht schaltung]$ cat testdir_for_pcb_libs/pcblib.contents
TYPE=~geda
geda_ALF100:ALF100:ALF100:Axial diode (pin 1 is cathode) [ALF100]
geda_ALF200:ALF200:ALF200:Axial diode (pin 1 is cathode) [ALF200]

I start pcb with:
pcb --lib-path
/usr/share/pcb/:/home/krud/git_my_checkout/schaltung/testdir_for_pcb_libs/

But if I now open the menu in pcb:
Window->Library

and type in the "Filter:" Edit field "ALF100"

I see the directory structure:

pcblib/~geda/ALF100,Axial diode (pin1 is cathode)[ALF100]

BUT! if I now click on the ALF100 line, I did not get the symbol. The
preview is empty ( or if another element was selected before, the last
selected symbols stays in the preview area ).

How can I add my private/own symbols to pcb?

Regards
  Klaus
