Want to run spice on this machine. Its running Avlinux 6.04, debian based to some extent.
Package manager lists:
gwave - waveform viewer for spice simulators easyspice - graphical frontend for spice ngspice gspiceui - graphical user interface for ngspice & gnucap gnucap - circuit analysis package
Presumably I'd pick ngspice, which I've not encountered before, does it need easyspice or gspiceui with it? Or is there a version of LTspice it'll run?
thank you NT
LTspice runs nicely under WINE.

I use LTSpice all the time under WINE, with XBuntu as the OS. It works great.

I like that idea better. Thanks

I have used ngspice on several versions of Fedora 15, 18 and 20. No issues at all. The input is text based, and the output data format is perfectly compatible with gnuplot. The big advantage of text based input is that the netlist can be modified quickly and easily without having to edit any schematic, and then ensuring that each component is wired up correctly.
ROTFLMAO :-D
Text entry is the best way to make mistakes you can't find.
I last used text entry ~1987 whilst still on a VAX using Berkeley Spice. ...Jim Thompson

I knew a guy who did mechanical drawings as text entry, prectically typing plotter files. It didn't catch on.

it depends, if you are fiddling with transistors yes if you are doing logic and big busses text is lot easier a faster
and a diff is easy

It's a reasonable way to do automation, though, e.g. wrapping SPICE in an optimizing loop. You'd want to use the schematic entry tool to start with, though.
LTspice .asc files are human-readable and eminently hackable.

I think Don Lancaster of Guru's Lair does all his stuff schematics, plotting, math etc. with handwritten postscript

Don Lancaster used to do a lot of programming in Postscript.

I have a lot of basic schematic "forms"... just that, a schematic form you fill in the requirements, like headroom and current-handling on a CMOS current mirror, it spits out the W/L ensuring in "saturation", worst-case process corner, hot.
Saves a lot of time. ...Jim Thompson

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
No, it's...
Well old, that goes with out saying :)
