Electric LTSpice/NGSpice instructions for Linux (for those who asked recently)

[Alexandre Rusev]

[1] Install wine

[2] Install LTSpice v3 (v4 has different format of output file :( )

     to it's default path

[3] In Electric menu File->Preferences->Tools->SpiceCDL

     setup following command line

~/.wine/drive_c/LTC/LTspiceIV/scad3.sh -i NMOS_IV.spi -r NMOS_IV.raw -o NMOS_IV.outIV/scad3.exe

For NGSpice use command line in [3]

ngspice  -b -r ${FILENAME_NO_EXT}.raw ${FILENAME}

Examples using NGSpice syntax in testbenches may be found here:

Note: NGSpice is also available for windows and worked fine for me
