Hi all, first time Kicad user. I had installed Kicad on Ubuntu 18.04 via apt, which turned out to be version 4.something. I therefore added the ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5.1
repo and after starting it got this wonderful error message:
The following libraries were not found
device.lib
switches.lib
relays.lib
motors.lib
transistors.lib
conn.lib
linear.lib
regul.lib
cmos4000.lib
adc-dac.lib
memory.lib
xilinx.lib
microcontrollers.lib
dsp.lib
microchip.lib
analog_switches.lib
motorola.lib
texas.lib
intel.lib
audio.lib
interface.lib
digital-audio.lib
philips.lib
display.lib
cypress.lib
siliconi.lib
opto.lib
atmel.lib
contrib.lib
valves.lib
I’ve googled the issue but all the information that I can find is bug reports and forum posts from 2017, each of which is replied with “update to the latest version”. If I am getting this error of missing libraries now two years later, what should I install (or symlink) so that Kicad will have the expected libraries available?
Thank you…
