'component-library' is indeed a directive for gnetlist (actually
libgeda) but it has nothing to do with _footprints_. Instead it
instructs gnetlist where to look for _symbols_.

You can specify directories for _footprints_ to gsch2pcb either with a
project file as Stefan explained or with the 'elements-dir' parameter
from the command line.

You will need both.

Regards,


Patrick
