[Ngspice-devel] can't find init file... suggestions

[a.r. r. <sr...@gm...>]

Hello,
I am using ngspice19 under MSWindows.(under windows98 using
a build of Holger vogt).
If ngspice.exe is executed from a different directory
other than ngspice bin directory,
we get "can't find init ..." error message if
SPICE_LIB_DIR env variable is not set or
set improperly.
Will it not be possible to retrieve the actual path of
...share\ngspice  directory with suitable modification in ngspice source ?
and use by ngspice.exe itself?.
As directory structure is fixed tobe 'bin' , share' , 'lib' etc
i think that if env variable is not set , then something like
"Getcurrdirecory" or equivalent of ngspice executable can be read and used
for relative traversing to 'share' directory.
Similarly 'spinit' script for codemodel location can also be retrieved as
currdir\lib\spice in which i mean 'currdir' is the ngspice directory.

This , i think , can avoid the above errors.
am i right ?
