Hi everyone Greetings from my side. I recently installed xschem , sky 130 nm and ngspice. I tried to run simple test simulation. when i try to run netlist , and try to open edit netlist, nothing happens. But in the directory

.xschem/simulaions/

, I find the netlist. Also the terminal window after execution of simulation button also not opens up . Any idea on why this happens?

Xschem uses a terminal emulator program to run shell commands (like the simulator) and an editor program to show files. The defauls are

xterm

and

gvim

respectively. I suggest to install the xterm terminal emulator, it is a small package. (

sudo apt install xterm

) the xschemrc fle can set alternate terminal emulator programs by setting the terminal tcl variable:

set terminal xterm

In a similar way you can set custom text editor programs by asigning the editor variable:

set editor {gvim -f -geometry 90x28}

If you want to use the default terminal and editor (xterm and gvim respectively) install also gvim (

sudo apt install vim-gtk3

or similar package for your linux installation).
