@User try to see if you have a .spice file after pressing the 'Netlist' button in the directory where you start xschem. The above error is not a netlisting failure but a missing editor. Which editor to use can be set in xschemrc (search for 'set editor').

Hi Stefan, Thanks for the previous suggestions; I was able to generate a spice file, but now when I click the simulate button, I get the following error: Is xterm something I need to install as well?

again u need to install xterm which is a terminal that is used for running ngspice.... so do "`sudo apt install xterm`"

Okay, thank you! I was able to get it to simulate. 🙂

u an have a look at this thread for that https://skywater-pdk.slack.com/archives/C017P3RAD42/p1633985464135100

okay, thanks so much!

@User, as with the 'editor' variable in xschemrc there is also a 'terminal' variable where you specify one installed terminal. Gnome-terminal, xterm, rxvt, and others are all good. My suggestion is always to have at least xterm and/or rxvt. When gnome/gtk comes with an ''upgrade'' and everything on the system suddenly stops working you may need to go for the old simple 'do one thing do it well' terminal. They take very little disk space anyway. If you don't specify a terminal default is to use xterm. May be in the future i can add some heuristics to xschem to search for an available terminal (and editor) and use the first one found on the system, if the user didn't specify any.

@User Thanks! I was able to get it working after installing xterm
