The Tech Help You Need

Hi,

I just compiled qcad on Slackware 10.1 and had the same problem.

I fixed the problem by recompiling, but before recompiling I put the
contents of the parts library 'partlibrary-2.1.1.2-1.zip' into 
a directory 'library' under 'qcad'.
i.e.
.../qcad-2.0.4.0-1.src/qcad/library/...
.../qcad-2.0.4.0-1.src/qcad/library/architecture

etc.

Then when I run qcad I setup the library path from:
Edit > Application Preferences > Paths > Part Libraries:

and then magically the part libraries appeared from:
Views > View > Library Browser

(The first time I compiled I put the library directory in place,
but I copied it into qcad/library after compiling. Then  I
had the empty library browser that you described.
It seems that qcad compiling looks to see if there is a directory
called library in qcad - but this is only a guess. Can't find this
test in the scripts/makefiles etc.
And I still have a problem that Help > Manual doesn't do anything.
Am hoping to fix that problem by a similar technique.)
