Hi -- Some comments:
1. About the installer: > The rest of the installation worked just fine. Congratulations! > >The function that make possible to pursue the installation when the > >compilation of one program fails is very great. Very well done! Thanks for the compliments! I crafted the installer so that it would be robust, and would continue installing other things even if it died on one particular tool. 2. As for the ngspice problem: That's a new one. It is evidently a problem with ngspice, not with the installer. What version/kernal rev of Linux are you using? Also, I didn't see your post on the ngspice-dev list. Perhaps you need to re-send it? 3. As for the wxGTK problems: I get them too. I guess I didn't test that particular facility enough. *embarressed blush* My current hypothesis is that the build of wxGTK takes too long, and the installer times out. Installation of all root-permission packages is done using pexpect, which is an "expect" package for Python. Installation of normal user-permission stuff is done using straight Python system calls. The expect stuff is more fragile. The expect session is supposed to catch timeouts gracefully. I don't know why it's not. I will continue looking into this, and will release a new CD when it is fixed. I think this is important because lots of distributions don't include wxGTK, and it is crucial that this installation work properly. Thanks for trying out the CD installer! Stuart
