Hmm, that seems to work here. For example:

~/t$ grep Lib test.pro
LibDir=y
LibName1=test
~/t$ ls
test.pro  test.sch  x/  y/
~/t$ ls y
test.lib
~/t$ cd x
~/t/x$ eeshow ../test.pro

Could you please provide more details on the context in which it
fails ? E.g., LibDir and LibNameX, and the exact invocation ?

Now it does :-)

There were a few more things missing before that one would render
properly, now added.

Alas, Cairo's "toy" text system doesn't seem to want to render
Cyrillic characters, but you can make eeshow use Pango, by adding
the option -P

Unfortunately, Pango is much slower than Cairo and I haven't
implemented overlining support for Pango yet.
