Add the Path to your library directory, not including the libdir itself 
to the Path given in 
	Preferences -> Library


> and how make own m4 symbols active for geschem2pcb

Add the path to your footprint library to gsch2pcb with the -d option. 
Alternatively you can set this resource in a project file. See Bill 
Wilsons tutorial for the details.

By the way: There is no man page for gsch2pcb :-|

"gsch2pcb -?" still points to  http://pcb.sf.net and  
http://www.geda.seul.org for more information.
