gEDA-user: Spice Example RF_Amp



I downloaded geda-examples-1.4.3.tar.gz, containing the RF_Amp example.

I built ngspice 19 from sources without error.

I get a max data size warning on any simulation, but, see no strange
actions when simulating other circuits.  I tried a dozen emitter
followers with different models and the results were about what I
expected.

I wanted to use gEDA to generate models using hierarchy.  The RF_Amp
example is exactly what I want to do.

I get a 'singular matrix' error when doing an op in ngspice 19 with the
MSA-2643.cir file from the tarball.

I think I missed something.
