Greetings,

I'm using gEDA 1.8.2 (g875406c), under Slackware Linux v14.2 (k4.4.118) 
and xfce4.

I have several local custom symbol libraries in my home directory which 
are not part of the gEDA system symbol libraries. Up until now, I had to 
explicitly define these library paths in order for them to show up in 
the gschem insert symbol list. I used the technique described in the 
gschem User Guide, section 20, Configuring gschem, "Symbol and source 
libraries". I placed these path statements in my ~/.gEDA/gafrc file so 
that all tools would have access to them. Up until now, this has worked 
fine. Now, it seems gschem is finding these libraries without my 
explicit declarations in the gafrc file. If I leave them in my gafrc 
file, gschem reports duplicate library names when it processes the gafrc 
file. I have commented-out all of them in my gafrc file and gschem is 
still reporting these libraries in the insert symbol dialog list. There 
seems now to be a mechanism somewhere that does this explicit library 
declarations without my definitions. That is nice, but...

If I comment out these libraries in my gafrc file, it quiets gschem, but 
then gnetlist reports it cannot find the symbols in my schematics. Note 
that yesterday, when I used gnetlist for the first time since about a 
year ago, it reported something about finding old files and it 
"recompiled" them for me. It did not give me a chance to opt out and the 
messages scrolled off the screen before I could read them properly. 
Needles to say, I cannot duplicate that "recompile". I checked my gEDA 
system files and all of them are dated last year. I cannot find any that 
may have been modified by this "recompile".

What is going on?
Where are the library paths stored so I can delete my local paths, go 
back to my original library path statements in gafrc, and get both of 
these programs to run properly?

Should I put the library paths from my gafrc file into a local 
gnetlistrc? That seems contrary to what is defined in the guides, but if 
it works...

Thanks.
Girvin Herr
