Origin

http://SunSITE.sut.ac.jp/pub/archives/linux/distributions/redhat/contrib/SRPMS/spice-3f4-3.src.rpm

Additional patches were created:

spice3f4.newdirs.patch
spice3f4.mklinux.patch
to change the installation prefix to "/opt/spice" from "/usr", avoid some undefined references, and work around "segmentation fault".

How to Build Spice from SRC

The RPM building procedure is described in its spec file:
spice-3f4.spec


You can rebuild the RPM using its corresponding SRPM as:

# rpm --rebuild <somewhere>/spice-3f4-4b.src.rpm

How to Install Spice

# rpm -Uvh <somewhere>/spice-3f4-4b.ppc.rpm

How to Use Spice

Since the whole package resides /opt/spice, you need to add "/opt/spice/bin" to your PATH:
$ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/spice/bin
Now you can try some sample circuit examples in "/opt/spice/lib/spice":
$ spice3 -r < /opt/spice/lib/spice/diffpair.cir
This creates "rawspice.raw" which can be viewed as:
$ nutmeg rawspice.raw
Program: nutmeg, version: 3f4
