For gschem I add lines to the system-gafrc file ---

(component-library "/local/lan/geda/gschem-sym/ic-Analog-Devices")

There are other gafrc files you can customize. See the FAQ at
http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:faq-gschem

For PCB I place all of my "production" footprints in one directory and run a
bash file called sch2pcb which contains the lines ---

#!/bin/bash
gsch2pcb --use-files --elements-dir /local/lan/pcb/packages $@

my footprints are in the /local/lan/pcb/packages directory.

You can view my footprint library at

For schematic symbols and footprints you can also check
