When using the 0201 footprint in the supplied Kicad lib, the DRc complains the distance between the pads are too small. How to make it accept its own footprint?
It would have helped if you posted the exact error message instead of this description, but it very likely is one of the numbers in PCB Editor / File / Board Setup / Design Rules / Constraints
If you set Constraints in Board Setup according to your PCB manufacturer possibilities than too small distance simply means that you should change manufacturer or not use so small elements.
Being this footprint ‘own’ certainly has nothing to this problem.

The pad to pad spacing of R 0201 is 0.18mm or 7 mil, definitely pushing beyond some cheap fab capabilities. Don’t expect solder resist between either.
