as a normal user can you view the element files by doing something like

cat /usr/local/share/pcb/newlib/2_pin_thru-hole_packages/0.125W_Carbon_Resistor

?

Also can you run

/usr/local/share/pcb/ListLibraryContents.sh /usr/local/share/pcb/m4 pcblib

and get a fairly long output that starts with:

TYPE=~TTL 74xx DIL
7400_dil:N:7400:4 dual-NAND
7401_dil:N:7401:4 dual-NAND OC
7402_dil:N:7402:4 dual-NOR
7403_dil:N:7403:4 dual-NAND OC
7404_dil:N:7404:6 inverters


?
