In kicad-5.0.1-lp150.58.1.x86_64 I get the following error when I attempt to
use the footprint wizard in the footprint editor to create a new footprint.

  File "/usr/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pcbnew.py", line 3866, in
GetFootprint
    self.BuildFootprint()

  File "/usr/share/kicad/scripting/plugins/FootprintWizardBase.py", line 139,
in BuildFootprint
    fpid = pcbnew.LIB_ID(self.module.GetValue())  # the name in library

  File "/usr/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pcbnew.py", line 5502, in
__init__
    this = _pcbnew.new_LIB_ID(*args)

NotImplementedError: Wrong number or type of arguments for overloaded function
'new_LIB_ID'.
  Possible C/C++ prototypes are:
    LIB_ID::LIB_ID()
    LIB_ID::LIB_ID(wxString const &,wxString const &,wxString const &)
    LIB_ID::LIB_ID(wxString const &,wxString const &)
