Installing SPICE OPUS for LINUX
Become root. Unpack the tar.gz file. Enter the directory created by unpacking the archive and typespice.install /usr/local
The installation program will detect and remove existing SPICE OPUS installations in the specified tree (in our case /usr/local) and then install SPICE OPUS in the specified tree (/usr/local). Following directories will contain the SPICE OPUS files:
| /usr/local/bin | directory with executable files the spice3 simulator and the cmpp code model source preprocessor |
|
| /usr/local/lib/spice/documentation | documentation files in html format | |
| /usr/local/lib/spice/lib | library files scripts (scripts/), help files (helpdir/), precompiled code models (cm/) and sources of precompiled code models (cmsource/) |
|
| /usr/local/lib/spice/include | include files for compiling code models | |
| /usr/local/lib/spice/template | template files for building and compiling code models |
SPICE OPUS requires a working X-Window installation.
You can install SPICE OPUS in some other tree by specifying it as a command line parameter for spice.install.
The environmental variables are set in the /usr/local/bin/spice-config shell script. When you run spice3 you actually start this script which sets up the environmental variables and starts the spice3.bin executable.
