Description Damien Schoof 2008-03-31 22:33:23 UTC 
Description of problem:
When running ngspice, it is unable to load its component libraries.  Below is
the output when the command ngspice -b test.cir is run:

/usr/lib/spice/spice2poly.cm: undefined symbol: spice2poly_info
Error: Library /usr/lib/spice/spice2poly.cm couldn't be loaded!
/usr/lib/spice/analog.cm: undefined symbol: cm_climit_info
Error: Library /usr/lib/spice/analog.cm couldn't be loaded!
/usr/lib/spice/digital.cm: undefined symbol: cm_adc_bridge_info
Error: Library /usr/lib/spice/digital.cm couldn't be loaded!
/usr/lib/spice/xtradev.cm: undefined symbol: cm_aswitch_info
Error: Library /usr/lib/spice/xtradev.cm couldn't be loaded!
/usr/lib/spice/xtraevt.cm: undefined symbol: ucm_d_to_real_info
Error: Library /usr/lib/spice/xtraevt.cm couldn't be loaded!

Below is a listing of /usr/lib/spice:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11664 2007-08-24 18:37 analog.cm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12120 2007-08-24 18:37 digital.cm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10920 2007-08-24 18:37 spice2poly.cm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11316 2007-08-24 18:37 xtradev.cm
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 11172 2007-08-24 18:37 xtraevt.cm

I have also attached a copy of test.cir; please note, however, that these error
messages occur for any file that I try to simulate (including the example ones).
 This error leaves me unable to do any simulations.

worked since it was installed.  Below is some info about my system:

Comment 2 Richard Smith 2008-04-16 09:06:04 UTC 
I have also seen this issue on the x86_64 version of ngspice for F8.

Rebuilding the rpm on a fully updated system fixed the problem for me.
Comment 3 Damien Schoof 2008-04-17 04:13:39 UTC 
I managed to fix this on my system by recompiling the source and then manually
installing it (make install) - then Ii had no problems.  Must be something in
the distributed rpm.
Comment 4 Chitlesh GOORAH 2008-04-17 06:43:39 UTC 
I'll fix it as soon as possible.
Sorry for the delay, I'm having some problems with my pgp key to commit.
