When compiling KiCad, cmake says it finds libngspice in /usr/local/lib. So I don't understand why it can't find it. Even KiCad's shared objects is located in?/usr/local/lib.

Have you added the ngspice to the library directory she’ll variable??

Dear List,


When I try to do circuit simulation, I get the following error:

Missing ngspice shared library

and

libngspice.so.0.0.0: Cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

I've compiled ngspice locally, and installed to /usr/local. Then
compiled KiCad, and it dinds ngspice libraries in /usr/local/. If I
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it works.

I've read that others move the libraries to /usr, what I don't want to do.

Is there any way to explicitly tell KkiCad where to search for the libraries?


Thanks,
Levente

Yes, I need to work out how to out in a pull request to github. I have still got a lot to do on other groups where the transfer is being done manually. Yesterday I finally got the download of all the data and messages of all the other groups I belong to!

Cheers

Hi Ian, I noticed that the User Mailing List (under community) link at??still points to the Yahoo group.

Perhaps ask Wayne to fix it?

I picked my primary care physician because of his negative comments; a former patient complained he believed in vaccines.? At least one time that I remember, I was at a standards committee arguing a point when I realized that the only engineers on my side were the ones that were well know knuckleheads; I retracted my objection immediately.? This thread is very similar, the feedback of an idiot can pretty well tell you if what you're doing is on the right track.

Thanks for the move and for confirming that there are still people who the blame problems of their own creation on someone else.

Quick question, does any one know any fab that can do sub 75um (3 mils) on PCBs? (in case anyone has come across this)

Anything below 75um would probably be lithography based and very expensive but just wondering. (seems Sierra circuits and? Omni PCB are the only manufacturers with these capabilities)

Circuithub is the same concept. I like them too...Macrofab is cheaper, but for all I know....they are just producing the stuff overseas when it is no longer a prototype service. In all...I think this quoting process is the future of manufacturing.?

At my last job we used .? They take Kicad projects and build your BOM online which makes takes care of the parts problem pretty simply.? I can't say they're cheap or expensive, I don't have enough experience with short run manufacturers - I know when we looked at real production quantities they were more expensive than traditional assembly houses.? I live near Boston and there are still a decent number of smaller contract manufacturers who are very good for production.

Their online tools are good, now that they support Kicad again (they were caught unaware with the 4 to 5 file format changes.)? I've loaded boards there and used their component selection tool just to create my initial AVL, their lead time tool makes it pretty easy to tune cost versus delivery.? For my projects they, and everyone I checked with, were too expensive for me to justify for hobby boards.
