Gwave is available as a Mandriva package, but it needs libguile-ltdl.so.1, which unfortunately is not included in the installed guile package: # urpmi gwave Some requested packages could not be installed: gwave-0.20051222-1mdv2007.0.i586 (due to missing libguile-ltdl.so.1) The guile-1.6.7 RPM package (built for SuSE) does offer libguile-ltdl.so, but won't install; not only does the package manager say everything is installed already, but it also shows lots of conflicting files: # rpm -if guile-1.6.7-3.i586.rpm package guile-1.8.1-7mdv2007.1 (which is newer than guile-1.6.7-3) is already installed file /usr/bin/guile from install of guile-1.6.7-3 conflicts with file from package guile-1.8.1-7mdv2007.1 ... [snip huge list of conflicting files] Uninstalling guile-1.8 is no option, as several other packages I use depend on it. I haven't tried installing guile-1.6.7 from source yet, but my experience tells me that I'll most likely run into more trouble that way. It's a bit frustrating ... all of gEDA installed without a hitch, except the simulation software -- and even after several days of trying and tinkering, I haven't succeeded in performing even one simple simulation, no matter whether I tried gspiceui, gwave or KJWaves ... Somehow it seems Mandriva won't let me simulate circuits :-/ Of course this also has to do with my inexperience with SPICE, simulation models, the relevant tools and CLI commands, etcetera -- but that's exactly why I was looking for a GUI solution: to be able to run a few very simple simulations without too much hassle. Anyway, I'd still appreciate any help to get things going. In the meantime, I'll go over Stuart Brorson's HOWTO once more, and see if I can make sense of it. Actually, I think I understand almost everything in there, but I must be doing things wrong somewhere along the line when entering and defining a circuit. An explanation based on one or more working examples would really, really help a lot -- if only to find out what I'm doing wrong.
