Re: gEDA: SPICE GUI

[MSWaters <M.Waters@bom.gov.au>]

Hi all,

I am doing the development on a PII 366 laptop running Redhat 7.3 which
has gcc v2.96 (as Evan guessed). This allows me to do the development
on the train to and from work. The down side is that I must use older
versions of Linux because of the laptop's limited supply of CPU cycles. 

I've modified the code to fix the default argument bug, thanks for the
feedback.

After untar'ing the gspiceui file enter "make config" which creates
directories such as src/obj. This is outlined in the INSTALL. (It's
good to see that I'm not the only one who refers to instructions as a
last resort.)
