Put this in a file called "gafrc" (no extension) in your project 
directory.  Alternatively, put it in your /home/*username*/.gEDA directory:

(component-library "/home/ethan/electronics/symbols")
(component-library "/home/ethan/electronics/footprints/")
(component-library-search "/home/ethan/electronics/footprints")
(source-library ".")

In your /home/username/.pcb directory, edit "preferences" and put your 
footprint library path there.  I have

library-newlib = ~/gaf/footprints

Regards,
Ethan
