Libraries not found

[cryarchy]

I have installed eSim on my computer (Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon 64-bit) and the installation was successful. However, creating a new project and opening the schematic causes a dialog with the title Not Found and the following content to pop-up:

The following libraries were not found:
- adc
- dac
- memory
- xilinx
- microcontrollers
- dsp
- microchip

- motorola
- texas

- cmos4000
- eSim_Analog
- eSim_Devices
- eSim_Digital
- eSim_Hybrid
- eSim_Miscellaneous
- eSim_Power
- eSim_Sources
- eSim_Subckt
- eSim_User
- eSim_Plot
- eSim_PSpice

The choose component dialog box also indicated that 0 components loaded and no components are available. Any help on how to resolve this will be greatly appreciated.

I partially fixed the issue by downloading and adding the KiCAD libraries from https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library. This now resulted in the error,

The following libraries were not found:
- eSim_Analog
- eSim_Devices
- eSim_Digital
- eSim_Hybrid
- eSim_Miscellaneous
- eSim_Power
- eSim_Sources
- eSim_Subckt
- eSim_User
- eSim_Plot
- eSim_PSpice

I added the libraries that are contained in the eSim\kicadSchematicLibrary\ and now I have the error(s):

How do I fix this?

[kavyamanohar]

The libraries can be added manually. To add libraries Go to Preferences -> component libraries -> add . Choose the required libraries from user/share/kicad/library.
The libraries other than the eSim_* comes from kicad. If they are not found in the above location, Installing kicad-library package might be required.

Thanks Kavya, I've fixed the issue with the libraries by installing and adding the libraries from kicad-library. Is there a current fix to the resulting eSim_PSpice errors detailed above?

[fahim-oscad]

I can't find any duplicate element in eSim_PSpice. Can you check kicad.pro file and see if eSim_PSpice has been used twice ? It can be found under /usr/share/kicad/template.

[cryarchy]

No it hasn't. There is only one entry for eSim_PSpice. Here is the file. I've added the .txt extension so that it may upload.
kicad.pro.txt

[fahim-oscad]

In Ubuntu if we run the eSim installer it install kicad properly and create the library folder as well however in Linux Mint 17.3 (Cinnamon 64-bit) we found that library directory was not creating while installing Kicad and it has to separately install. Our installer just copy few files in library and template folder.

Here is the solution for Linux Mint after installing eSim just install kicad-library.
sudo apt-get install kicad-library
This will create kicad library folder

Now just copy the .lib and .dcm files available in kicadSchematicLibrary of eSim into library folder

sudo cp -r kicadSchematicLibrary/*.lib /usr/share/kicad/library/
sudo cp -r kicadSchematicLibrary/*.dcm /usr/share/kicad/library/

We have tested this procedure in Mint and it is working. In the next version we will add the kicad-library installation as well.

Thank to all you guys!

I solved the problem by uninstalling KiCad and forgetting it ever existed
