I know that this is a solution, but by mens of this you just solve 
result, not cause.

What I wanted to say is, that storing library path in every schematic 
file is not a good idea. You should instead put only library name into 
schematic file, but storing full path into it is non systematic.
It is just because in Windows you have no path named /usr/share and in 
Linux there is no c:\Program Files\ (and I do not speak about different 
language version of Windows).

IMO it is necessary to put this path into KiCad global options, not in 
schematic.

Uff ;-)
