Hi DJ,

The problem is that component sources are now not all directories, so they 
cannot be uniquely identified that way.  You should have error spew in your 
log dialog saying something like:

  Cannot add library [misc]: name in use.

This is because sources are now uniquely identified by name.

Fortunately, component-library now takes an optional second argument, which is 
the name to give to the directory-based component source.

(component-library
  "/envy/dj/geda/gedasymbols/www/user/dj_delorie/symbols/misc"
  "gedasymbols/dj/misc") ; Any character is valid in this argument.

I hope that helps.

                           Peter
