It sounds like you are using the project manager "geda".  This program
is currently not being developed.  It has some specializations and
customizations which I believe it's original author put in, but don't
correspond to the current state of the gEDA project.  Don't use
"geda" the project manager.  Run the individual applications from the
command line instead.

Run it -- along with the other applications -- from the command line.

You can use gwave to plot the output from ngspice & gnucap.
Installing it is a real pain, however.
