I'm struggling with this damn gEDA/SPICE thing - I think I have gEDA
schem figured, but I can't be sure because I can't test it. For the life
of me I can't seem to get my head around it, but then I might just be
too tired.
Can anyone point out what I'm missing? I open geda, create a sch file
(circuit), and then run gnetlist -g spice-sdb <sch-file>. I then run
ngspice (or gspiceui) but it comes up with errors over the 555 (U1) and
diodes (d?) I'm running like this:
Error on line 9 : d1 2 0 unknown
unable to find definition of model unknown - default assumed
Error on line 13 : u1 0 4 3 +9v 1 4 5 +9v unknown
unable to find definition of model +9v - default assumed
unknown parameter (4)

There is nada on google about any of this - but I suspect it is missing
model files or something, and before I go attaching to yet another
mailing list, I thought I'd run it by here first as I'm sure there are
some who use this and have experience with it on FreeBSD 9.
TIA guys
