Karl,

Have you tried PCB's: File > Preferences > Library

That has a location to specify one or more library path(s).

There is also a project-specific file named "<projectName>.prj" which is 
to be located in your project directory and has the following format:

     elements-dir <pathToFootprints>
     schematics <listOfProjectSchematics>
     output-name <projectName>

This file is used by gsch2pcb when it is used to convert a schematic(s) 
to a raw (rough) pcb.

You might try the "User Manual for PCB" and the "Getting Started With 
PCB" documents. Both of these are under the "Information" pane on the 
left at:

     http://pcb.geda-project.org/

I don't have a ~.pcb/settings or a ~.pcb/pcbrc, but my ~.pcb/preferences 
does have my correct library path under:
     library-newlib =

which reflects the entry under File > Preferences > Library.

HTH
Girvin
