i downloaed spicef5.tar.gz and installed it...

but i am unable to get it working

any helps on commands etc?

Yea im running Fedora Core 3 and im having, probably similar trouble. I cannot get spice to run nor install correctly. I am hoping to find installation instructions for Fedora but so far i have had no luck.

have u read the readme file ??

it tells you how to install it

Why dont you use yum to update your system and add files? You should get a working version of spice from one of the repositories. Why compile spice if someone already did it for you? Thats what i do here and it works like a charm. Good luck. Hope it helps.

yum is gonna take hell lot of time on a dial up to update my system......

I dont think it will. You just need to select the packages you need... i use apt here (i run conectiva linux) and i would just do:
apt-cache search spice --> it locates the packages i need
apt-get install "all packages name" --> install the packages

It is granted to work. Yum is very similar and you even have graphical mode to help you. Compiling from source is very hard (i did it myself some time ago) but the current binaries do have BSIM support(and i am using it on my thesis).

But it may take a little longer than compiling from source if you dont have broadband at home/work/school. Good luck anyway. I just proposed you the best possible solution, give it a try if you can.
