2015-09-21 10:45:28 Gregor Riepl description I am currently packaging the 4.0 release candidate for Debian, so the it will be ready when KiCAD 4.0 releases. There's something I noticed: All the _*.kiface files are installed to <prefix>/bin - which I do not think is an appropriate place for them. Only executables should go to /usr/bin, but these are dynamically loaded libraries. Trying to execute them on Linux will result in a segfault. I think they should be installed into <prefix>/lib/kicad/kiface or similar. Can you change this?
