There was a discussion about simulation, and I believe it
was Watson A Name who mentioned using spice on dos or
something, and I was going to ask, "isn't there a spice
for linux?" but thought I'd check.

There is, and I've downloaded it and installed it and as far
as I know, I've done the install per instructions, at least
configure and make and checkinstall didn't give any errors. ;-)

But the first time I try to run it, which I admit the
documentation for is a bit sparse, as in "how to operate
tclspice" - anyway, I'm at a point where I think I'm supposed
type

package require spice
spice_init_gui example.cir

according to the tutorial on the web site.

Well, I get this:
-------------------------
rich@entheos:~/Downloads/tclspice/tests
$ package require spice
-bash: package: command not found
rich@entheos:~/Downloads/tclspice/tests
$ package require spice
-bash: package: command not found
rich@entheos:~/Downloads/tclspice/tests
$ spice_init_gui fourbitadder.cir
-bash: spice_init_gui: command not found
rich@entheos:~/Downloads/tclspice/tests
$ su -
Password:
root@entheos:~
# package require spice
-su: package: command not found
root@entheos:~
# spice_init_gui fourbitadder.cir
-su: spice_init_gui: command not found
root@entheos:~
----------------------

But, I don't remember where I read it, I heard about
spicewish, so can type

$ spicewish $FILE,
but I get:
----------------------
$ spicewish fourbitadder.cir
Error in startup script: couldn't load file "/usr/lib/libspice.so": /usr/lib/libspice.so: undefined symbol: where_history
while executing

..."
(file "/usr/local/bin/spicewish" line 8)
rich@entheos:~/Downloads/tclspice/tests
$
-----------------------------------
and don't know where to look next.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Rich

No, it wasn't me, and why the hell are you posting this to ABSE?
It should be on sci.electronics.cad!

Sorry. It was in one of the electronics newsgroups, and it _was_
about schematics, after all.

Hope I didn't ruin your day.

Thanks,

Well, it's primarily about cad, and not about binarues of schematics.

> Hope I didn't ruin your day.

I think my days have been ruined a long time, because I see an awful lot
of cad stuff that isn't in the s.e.cad NG. What else is new? :->
