  Yeah, right.

I found a way to ignore this one (and some other nonecritical) errors in code of LibToTech.
But when ignoring errors without of setting error status user looses opportunity to know that things went wrong.
So I didn't suggest any patch at my first attempt, sorry. 

Yet I did a temporary fix for my self which just ignores all errors and took a look on
SkyWater130 converted to library :)

>I could try to fix the bug in LibToTech, but I don't know if that's
Okay, now I know it's a bug to be fixed. But not anintentionally implemented
feature.

Thought coding java is much more convinient  for me too.
The final user will typically want to take a look on technology definition when having
some problem with layout drc/vls or either.
In situation when I do not understand how tech layers and connectivety rules are set,
I also wanted to just see it without real editing.

Hi Alexandre,
 
It looks like you are using the "convert technology to library" feature
here:
 
https://staticfreesoft.com/jmanual/mchap08-02.html
 
The error message you're getting seems to be a bug in LibToTech.java,
emanating from this line:
 
error.markError(null, np, "No highlight layer found");
 
I could try to fix the bug in LibToTech, but I don't know if that's
such a great use of resources. The skywater130.xml technology is
generated by a Java program; you shouldn't edit the XML file with a
text editor or with LibToTech. You should edit the Java code that
generates the XML file instead. It's much easier to read because Java
code can factor out repetition using loops and subroutines; XML can't
do that.

LTSpice is 32 bit executable as I know. Wine32 needs to be installed in 64 bit Ubuntu/Debian

Hello Nishant, can you post a screen of your Spice/CDL settings? I think
you need to include wine or wine64 command before the path to LTSpice,
since without wine you're not able to run any .exe in Linux. You can test
the command in the terminal before you put it in your Spice/CDL settings.
 
Best regards, Patrick.
