[Denis Kuzmenko <dart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Wayne.

Here's my problem:
when I launch freshly built kicad and try to open schematic it says
"Command <eeschema> not found".
With my patch I can avoid that:
export PATH=$PATH:`pwd`/eeschema/
kicad/kicad

But I failed how to manage that with ldconfig command. Can you give me
some hints? Should I add `pwd`/eeschema/ to the library cache?


Best Regards, Denys Kuzmenko.
