Dear Carsten.
It seems, now ngspice is configured --with-readline, reverting a change in
ngspice 24-1.
* Change readline dependency to libedit-dev
I couldn't find an explanation for why this is possible now, there's only the
old paragraph from 2003
"""
Added Andrew Veliath patch for readline support. Using
readline with ngspice IS A VIOLATION OF GPL LICENSE, you
have been warned. The final decision is up to you. The
patch has been applied in the perspective of changing
readline library with libedit. Libedit aims to be a
replacement of readline and is covered by BSD license.
Libedit is available at the URL: libedit.sourceforge.net.
"""
in ngspice/ChangeLog.
Could you please explain what has changed since then? Apologies, if i am
missing something obvious.
best regards
felix
