Bob,

I misspoke.  .pretty is for footprints.  I need another cup of coffee.

I see over 2000 schematic symbols in your list.  As far as I know, that's
to be expected.

The Mac install situation isn't the best right now, but I think everything
looks installed ok with regards to eeschema on your system.

 Yes, there is something odd about the files in my list. The only thing
ending in 'pretty' is:

kicad/template/fp-lib-table.for-pretty

But, I followed the instructions..

I also don't know what those buildingblocks are.  As far as I know, kicad
libraries are directories that end in .pretty.

I think you may want to talk with the library maintainers, but I'm not sure.
