"spice" doesn't as such exist. The closest open source is "ngspice", which is its own project - although does come under the gEDA umbrella. You might want to try "gnucap" http://www.gnucap.org/ What OS are you using? Is there any particular reason you're using the gEDA binary suite, rather than fetching gEDA from your distro's package system? Alternatively to the binary suite, building the gEDA tools from source is often a good option if you want to get up to date code. IIRC, the Binary suite isn't based on the latest released version.

The binary suite is big because it bundles _all_ dependencies, like commercial tools running on Linux would do. This may mean it doesn't integrate nicely with the rest of your system. I'm not sure what problems the gEDA suite's programs are having running as root, but they may be avoiding it for security reasons. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
