~/.pcb-rnd/pcb-conf.lht is the right place for user configuration. Note: 
there's is no dot prefix in the file name but in the directory name.
 
Before you modify that file, make sure you don't have running pcb-rnd 
processes, just in case they are going to overwrite the file.
 
Also, your example above misses the root node, so it is not a valid 
config. So your file should look more like this:
 
li:pcb-rnd-conf-v1 {
  ha:rc {
   li:library_search_paths {
    ha:overwrite {
     /home/jesse/Documents/Projects/Altos-pcb-lib/
     /home/jesse/Documents/Projects/PCB-footprints/
    }
   }
 }
}
 
 
But you could also use the GUI to configure the library paths: {i c p} has 
a Library tab for this.
 
HTH,
 
Igor2
