Comment 1 Steven A. Falco 2019-01-15 20:59:44 UTC

Currently, ngspice produces a huge amount of status information, largely consisting of % complete and backspaces, which makes it very hard to use the library.

There has been a discussion here:

https://forum.kicad.info/t/trying-to-get-ngspice-working-on-fedora/14628

The recommendation from one of the upstream ngspice developers is to remove the --enable-ndev flag, which he describes as an "outdated or risky configure flag".

Please remove the flag, which should remove the unwanted status information.

Comment 2 Mamoru TASAKA 2019-01-20 14:46:21 UTC

I am now rebuilding ngspice with offending configure opts removed.
