Spice3 trouble -- Help, please?
Hello,
I am trying to get spice3 to work on my linux box but I am having considerable trouble.
I use SuSE 8.2 pro and installed spice from the distro CD. Spice starts and I can review the help menues, etc., but when I try to model any circuit, I receive multiple errors. These errors suggest that spice is unable to find the underlying models, etc. needed for the simulation.
I removed spice and reloaded from an rpm package, but again I get the exact same errors. I am using example circuits from the spice documentation, so they should work. Additionally, I have also tried circuit files that worked well with spice running on other OS's.
Below is a print out from one of the problem session:
/home/don> spice3 f2.cir

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!
