Unless the functionality has changed in a newer version of LTSPICE, the
LTSPICE Mac version will not work as it does not take command line input
[
https://www.mail-archive.com/electricvlsi@googlegroups.com/msg01141.html ].
A workaround on a Mac may be to use wine [
http://cmosedu.com/jbaker/students/wenlan/Electricwu.htm ].
However, Electric is not able to open the LTSPICE's new RAW format even
on Windows systems (or using wine):

That should be due to a problem with both LTspice and Electric.
The problem with LTspice is that the raw file format has changed.
As evidence of that, there is the statement at [1]:
"Regarding the error with LTSpice XVII, as Joshua Jones pointed out,
the error is due to the new version of LTspice using UTF16 encoding
for .RAW files."
The problem with Electric is that it hasn't been updated to read the
new LTspice XVII RAW format. As you have probably seen, there is
currently no experienced Java programmer for Electric which is needed
for doing that [2].
As was mentioned in the past, the current workaround should be to open
the RAW file directly with LTspice [3,4].

In mac pro, I cannot run the spice for Electric because I have an
error which is *unable to guess any simulation file with a known
extension; the following directories were checked:*
My run program path is cd ~/.user/Desktop/LTspiceIV.dmg
With args: -i ${FILENAME} -r ${FILENAME_NO_EXT}.raw -o
${FILENAME_NO_EXT}.out
How can I sort out the problem?
Thanks in advance.
