gEDA-user: adding footprints?!



i've been struggling to add my footprints (for mouser parts: 31VQ501,
108-1MS1T1B1M1QE, and 502-RN-112APC) to my pcb and im having a ton of
trouble.  i THOUGHT i successfully added an m4 definition to
/usr/share/pcb/m4 and ran the CreateLibrary{,Contents}.sh scripts to
maybe update the library (?) and nothing.  running gsch2pcb complains
that it can't find my package name.  i copied it from another one and
it still doesnt work.  i tried the graphical method (newlib i think
its called) to no avail because i never got the "save buffer elements
to file" menu item to actually DO anything (that i was aware of.)  am
i missing something?  how do you guys do it?  i am in fact having
problems with pcb ANYWAY, probably because of the motif dependencies
and misconfiguration... ALMOST enough reason to port it to gtk2. 
which, if i can finish this one freaking pcb by tomorrow night, i will
have enough free time to do. =)

thanks for any suggestions
