I'm seeing the same thing. I think what's happened is that we've got a ktechlab that has been compiled without gpsim support, and hence simulating PICs in circuits is disabled.
If I've understood things correctly this is because ktechlab requires a later version of gpsim than ubuntu supplies (I'm running Edgy with the supplied gpsim 0.20.14). eg in ktechlab's configure.in we see: AC_MSG_CHECKING([for gpsim 0.21.4 availability]) I looked to see if it's an easy thing to install an updated gpsim, but it in turn needs an updated gtkextra. Haven't looked much further than that, other than seeing that there's some instructions in ktechlab's INSTALL file that look like they might get me there with a little messing around. It's a shame really. ktechlab really is a very impressive package, and it would be nice if ubuntu's distribution of it worked properly. The PIC programming and simulation stuff is the most interesting part of what ktechlab does. -- PIC Component not available https://launchpad.net/bugs/55559 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
