Thanks for the reply, Michael. After reading about libtool I thought there was some change made regarding the .la libraries in Fedora. Although I did have a problem compiling freehdl it is available in the repos.
I tried compiling it while trying to debug the problem with qucs. Given that the message about trying to find libfreehdl.la while trying to run a simulation in qucs I guess the problem is with qucs. When I compiled qucs from git I had the same problem. I see that fedora is not planning to release a spin of eda tools until 2019. I did notice while checking /usr/lib64 that there are a few examples in fc27 ls *.la libguile-gnome-gobject-2.la libQt5GlxSupport.la libgwrap-core-runtime.la libQt5InputSupport.la libgwrap-guile-runtime.la libQt5KmsSupport.la libQt5AccessibilitySupport.la libQt5LinuxAccessibilitySupport.la libQt5Bootstrap.la libQt5OpenGLExtensions.la libQt5DeviceDiscoverySupport.la libQt5PlatformCompositorSupport.la libQt5EglSupport.la libQt5ServiceSupport.la libQt5EventDispatcherSupport.la libQt5ThemeSupport.la libQt5FbSupport.la libQt5UiTools.la libQt5FontDatabaseSupport.la On Mon, May 7, 2018 at 12:20 PM, Michael Schwendt <mschwe...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Mon, 07 May 2018 14:54:59 -0000, patrick stanistreet wrote: > > > I have been trying out a package qucs for electronic circuit design > and simulation. > > I can use the software to create a simple design but the simulation > fails on a missing > > library.
