gEDA-user: gnetlist and numparam

["Dominique Michel" <dominiquemichel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!
It is about a couple of months at i am using geda. I have begun to do some 
vaccum tubes model. An adaptation for ngspice of the Perugini's diode model 
can be found on the ngspice users email list.
The geda is a great suite of programs and i thanks very much all those they 
have contribute to it.

I have done two versions of the model. The first one without the numparam 
library and all is working just fine with it. 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6872633&forum_id=5514
The second one is using the numparam library with ngspice. 
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=7110344&forum_id=5514
My raison to use this library is at it is much easier to change the 
coeficients of the model to use it with different tubes.

When i run my simulation in ngspice all is working fine with the model not 
using numparam but i get always the same error when using the model that is 
using numparam:
error: X1 not found (or something like that).

I must edit the simulation file and move the line with the X1 node n node m 
... after the definition of the model. After that, ngspice is working fine.
The raison is at gnetlist put all the components of the circuit at the 
begining of the simulation file and the declaration of the models (.subckt 
sections) after.
When ngspice is compiled with the numparam library, it doesn't understand it 
and i have to move the component after the model.

I can live with it but i will be happy to know if this issue will be fixed 
in the future.

Ciao
Dominique
