After installing KiCAD 6, having had version 5 there are no symbols available. I get the error message below for every symbol library that comes with KiCAD.
file is not a valid symbol or symbol library file in ‘/usr/share/kicad/symbols/4xxx.kicad_sym’, line 1, offset 0.
Error loading symbol library 74xGxx.
Multiply the above error by all symbol libs.
How do I fix this issue?
And how do I import my own symbols?
What OS are you using?
Opps, sorry I forgot to include that.
I’m using Linux on a Kubuntu 20.04.
So I should also mention that I had to edit the .config/kicad/6.0/sym-lib-table and change all instances of KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR to KICAD6_SYMBOL_DIR because it couldn’t even find the files at first.
So I found the problem which I posted here: After Installing version 6 there are no symbols available. (#10255) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab
