Cannot load libraries specified by full path

[Thomas Pointhuber]

When I add a library file in the Compontent Library menue, with an example path of:

/home/user/path/to/library/library

the schematic viewer tries to open the library with the following path:

/home/user//home/user/path/to/library/library.lib
