Now available at www.qsl.net/wn2a latest version.
Worked fine on Puppy 3.01 thru 4.3.1. Let me know of any test results on other Puppies.

I have Lucid 528. When I had this pet, it seemed to always crash my video settings and force me to probe whenever I tried to select a resistor to put into a diagram. Since I couldn't diagnose the issue, I just had to uninstall it.

@Saysyou2sd,
the only thing I can think off is that you might be missing libpng.so.3. If this is the case you can try running:
Code: | ln -s /lib/libpng12.so.0.42.0 /lib/libpng.so.3 |

That isn't the issue as renaming that file was what I had to do to get the program to run in the first place.
Also, I thought I deleted the program, but I guess not. If necessary, I'll try some things you request to get to bottom of the issue.

I just tried this in lucid 5.2.8 works for me, I had to make a system link
Code: | ln -s /usr/lib/qt-3.3.8/lib/libqt-mt.so.3.3.8 /usr/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 |
also muggins code
Code: | ln -s /lib/libpng12.so.0.42.0 /lib/libpng.so.3 |
Seems to function ok for me.

You're sure? Try clicking "Components" and then dragging a resistor from the tab around the screen for a few seconds. It seems fine at first, but then the screen all of a sudden crashes on me when I do this.

It appears to work for me, though, to be fair, the video did have a spasm after I closed the program while trying to highlight some text, but didn't crash.
So it seems it does have a influence on the video, but not to any great degree with my pc, the video is Code: | === Video ===

the video glitch I had may have something to do with buffers as it left tracing of what I was highlighting across the screen, but cleared itself.

I've been doing some more circuits with this and it hasn't faulted yet, works quite well, I'm impressed with it.
The glitch I had may have been coincidence and had nothing to do with this application.

Welp. I'm just not sure what it could be that's giving me issues. When I find the time, I'm going to try to boot with my live CD, install the pet, and see if I can get it to run smoothly then.

Qucs on Racy Puppy |
|
Sorry about the absence, folks. Qucs/Asco runs fine right out of the box on Racy 5.2.2. On other versions of Puppy 5 (Wary,Lucid and Slacko) it seemed to need muggins symlink above.
Also, not directly related to Qucs on Racy 5.2.2, my Acer Aspire with Intel HD video, a screen resolution setting of 1366 x 768 could cause lock up on this and other several programs. Fine at 1024x768 setting. Sounds more like video driver issue.
Best Regards,

Hi WN2A,
I have found the the QUCS package 0.0.16 on your page won't install, it give an error on installation.
However, Geoffrey's mirror install and runs fine - maybe the file has become corrupted?
