Description August Hörandl 2011-05-07 17:40:04 UTC
oregano uses gnucap as default for simulation, but gnucap isn't a dependency


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure sci-electronics/gnucap is not installed
2. install oregano
3. start oregano
4. open any sample e.g. /usr/share/oregano/examples/simple.oregano
5. add a voltage clamp (anywhere)
6. start simulation
Actual Results:  
Logfile: Unable to execute GnuCap.

Expected Results:  
installing oregano should install at least one simulation program

A use flag to select the simulation program would be a good idea.

That is not quite correct. It 'can' use these programs, but you can also generate a netlist and use some other programs to simulate. 

You also got a log message to inform you about:

 * You'll need to emerge your prefered simulation backend
 * such as spice, ng-spice-rework or gnucap for simulation
 * to work.
