I downloaded the Rochester physics library (of old CAPA problems). I imagine I will be asking about CAPA macros in a bit, but right now I am just trying to get my library browser to acknowledge that the problems are there.
I put the directory in /opt/webwork/libraries, which is where the other libraries I have installed are located. And then I tried to edit global.conf under
$courseFiles{problibs} = {
but nothing I put there seems to make the new library show up.
Is there something else I need to do?
AFAIK, $courseFiles{problibs} is just for giving nice labels to directories.
The line you should look at is
$problemLibrary{root} = "/opt/webwork/libraries/NationalProblemLibrary";
Let me know how you get on with the CAPA libraries. I had issues getting the images to display and ended up symlinking the directory into each course and adding this line
$physics_problib = "/opt/webwork/libraries/rochester_physics_problib";
There's likely a better way, but I didn't have the time to find it.

Hi,
You will find general instructions for installing libraries (including the CAPA library) at
http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/Installation_Manual_for_2.4_on_Ubuntu_9.10#Install_the_WeBWorK_Problem_Libraries
Specific instructions for the CAPA library are at:
http://webwork.maa.org/wiki/CAPA_Physics_Problems
Note that for CAPA you also need install the macros and graphics and the above instructions include instructions on this.
