lib table contains not logical lib <name>

[Berthold Benning]

Hello,
i have installed the newest kicad Version 4618.

after the compilation and Installation i can not in CvPcb see the footprint - List on the right Side.
In Pcbnew after starting the Part - Viewer can i see the List from the Parts, after selection coming following Message:

lib table contains not logical lib <name> from <my source path> fp_lib_table.cpp : FindRow() : line 631

this is by all bibliotheks equal.

With older Version was this OK.

SuSE Linux 12.3, 64 Bit Wxwidgets 2.9

Load your fp-lib-table files (both of them) into a text editor to see if the software is
lying to you.

The global table is in ~/fp-lib-table and the project specific table is in
<project-dir>/fp-lib-table.

I think you are giving us a translated error message back into English from perhaps
German, and it does not say exactly what it would have said in the original English.

There are two most likely things that can go wrong for each lib in the table:

(uri path) is wrong.

(plugin Type) is wrong.

For *.mod files you need (type Legacy).

After an upgrade using kicad-install.sh, the global table is replaced everytime, and the
replacement version uses plugin (type Kicad) not (type Legacy). This is bad for a
beginner. Probably somebody needs to patch the script not to do that, not overwrite an
existing fp-lib-table without saving off the original at least. Probably everyone using
that script needs to communicate among themselves on the yahoo list, and support each
other, and also keep backups of any working version of fp-lib-table that they like.
