[Bernhard Stegmaier <stegmaier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don’t know about ngspice or Python scripting, I don’t use them.
Maybe you just need to supply a suitable path to cmake when building?

When you do a "make install" the binaries in the build folder are not usable directly any more.
The bundling process of a “make install” rewrites the library paths in all binaries/libs so that it only fits the layout of the bundle, but not the layout of the build folders.
So, it is expected that it crashes or some other bad things happen, because it won’t find libs any more.


Regards,
Bernhard
