Helpfile problem
The helpfile problem comes from an inconsistency
between the src/Makefile.am which put data files
in :
helpdatadir = $(pkgdatadir)/helpdir
which becomes /usr/local/share/ng-spice-rework/helpdir
while in the src/help.c file, the path that is expected to
find the file is *Spice_help_Dir = NGSPICEDATADIR/helpdir
(see the file src/misc/ivars.c)
which is #defined in config.h, and defaults to
"/usr/local/share/ng-spice/helpdir"
The easiest way to solve this is to redefine NGSPICEDATADIR in
configure.in, by changing the following line:
AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(NGSPICEDATADIR, "`echo $dprefix/share/`$PACKAGE" )
this will put NGSPICEDATADIR to "/usr/local/share/ng-spice-rework"
However this doesn't solve all, since the help function now works
correctly with nutmeg but not with ngspice ??
