Description of problem: Actually ngspice is compiled with all these options: --disable-xgraph \ --enable-adms \ --enable-xspice \ --enable-maintainer-mode \ --enable-dependency-tracking \ --enable-capzerobypass \ --enable-cider \ --enable-newpred \ --enable-expdevices \ --enable-intnoise \ --enable-openmp \ --enable-predictor \ --enable-numparam \ --enable-dot-global \ --enable-shared \ --enable-ndev \ --with-readline=yes \ + TCL These options are known to cause troubles: --enable-ndev cf. Bug 1047060 --enable-newpred cf. Bug 844100 and http://sourceforge.net/p/ngspice/bugs/203/ Holger Vogt's answer: "why do you use --enable-newpred? If you deviate from what is mentioned in the manual or in the file INSTALL as the basic install options, you should know what you are doing. ngspice is a complex piece of software, which includes several options for experimenting. We will not add warnings to all the options." Some options no longer exists like --enable-dot-global INSTALL manual recommends to use: --disable-debug --enable-adms --enable-cider --enable-openmp --enable-xspice --with-readline=yes --with-x
In fact this package needs an update.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Well, now Fedora 23/24/25 has ngspice 26-4 (on Fedora 23 it is still in testing). While I fixed some generic compilation issue / packaging issue / etc, I have not yet changed any compilation option, so: * If you still see any _specific_ issue, please open a new bug per each issue and write some detailed explanation. - I tried reproducing bug 844100, but from the explanation in the bug I cannot understand how to reproduce the issue - And I don't know "server mode" (c.f. bug 844100) Please open a new bug. Note that recently I took over ownership of ngspice on Fedora, but I am not so familiar with ngspice. So please add some detailed explanation, thank you.
Ngsipce must be compiled as explained in the user manual!!! It should be a fedora rule. Don't release a program with funny compilation options.
