ii oregano 0.50.1-2
tool for schematical capture of electronic circuits
First one should not that version 0.50 is outdated and has been replaced with
version 0.60 released 30 september 2006.
I encountered the following. When I create a simple circuit and want to
run analysis on it using the gnucap engine:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -l gnucap
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

+++-=====================================-=====================================-==========================================================================================
ii gnucap 0.34-5
GNU Circuit Analysis package
I configure everything correctly, select the gnucap engine, select the
binary... the simulation still fails. An strace shows the following:
execve("/usr/bin/gnucap", ["/usr/bin/gnucap", "gnucap",
"/tmp/oregvO0WJL"], [/* 31 vars */]) = 0
Somehow oregano tries to execute:
/usr/bin/gnucap gnucap /tmp/oregVO0WJL
Quoting man gnucap:
NAME
gnucap - GNU Circuit Analysis Package
SYNOPSIS
gnucap [-b filename] [-i filename]
Anyhow this doesn't work. A simple workaround (apart from fixing the code,
probably this will be fixed in the new release already, but until it goes
upstream it's possible to use this workaround):
I created a shellscript:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /usr/bin/run-gnucap.sh
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/gnucap -b $2
When you select this shellscript in oregano instead of the real gnucap
binary the simulation will work.
