oscad installation error

Question

Hello,

I attended your last workshop on OSCAD at IIT Bombay.

I installed OSCAD on my office PC successfully. But When I try to run it, I am getting the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/bin/oscad", line 10, in <module>

import ttk

ImportError: No module named ttk

Can you help me on this issue?

PC details:

Python version = 2.6.6

OS = Ubuntu 10.10

Thanks and Regards.

Hi,

Pls try reinistalling the packages, python-tk, python-imaging-tk.
for this type the linux command on terminal as, sudo apt-get install python-tk python-imaging-tk
(Or you can also install it using synaptic package manager.)

Pls let us know if you still get any issues?

Thanks,
Shambhu

I thought that this forum is only for questions about the 'Spoken Tutorials' and not for this type of questions. Therefore I mailed my question on that address.

I reinstalled 'python-tk' and 'python-imaging-tk' (as you suggested) but I am still getting the same error.

Hi Ravindra,

There are few packages required before running installation script.
Did you run installation script again after installing python package ?

If not please run it.

I reinstalled oscad, it is still giving the same error. Should I have uninstalled it first and then installed it again?

The software 'KiCad', shows up in the applications menu and It opens successfully. But for oscad, even the desktop icon is not getting created by the installation script.

Hi,

pls download the <a href="https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/p/pyttk/pyttk-0.3.2.tar.gz#md5=c80a3d306f4db8e5a1df16c359d4cf85" target="" title="file">file</a> , extract it and follow the README inside the folder. pls let us know if it is solves your problem

That worked. Oscad is now installed and running. Many Thanks.

I also followed the spoken-tutorial 'oscad-schematic-creation-e.ogv' and everything worked. However, while generating netlist from circuit-schematic the checkbox " Prefix references 'U' and 'IC' with 'X' " was not available. Is this serious?

Best Regards.

Hi,

when you click on Generate netlist button on the schematic editor, does the pop-up with it's name as "netlist" is coming?

23-04-14, 10:56 p.m. shambhu

Yes. I am talking about that only. In the tab named 'Spice' of the "netlist" window, the checkbox " Prefix references 'U' and 'IC' with 'X' " is not there.

24-04-14, 10:53 a.m. Ravindra Shende

It is OK. The Spoken Tutorial says that the option Prefix references 'U' and 'IC' with 'X' should not be enabled. If it is already disabled then there is no problem. In the tutorial, it was enabled and we show how to "uncheck" it. You can proceed. No need to install Oscad again.

Can you pls try running the installer once again?. May be some python modules might not have been installed.

24-04-14, 4:37 p.m. shambhu

What do you think about rakhiwarriar's comment above?

24-04-14, 7:30 p.m. Ravindra Shende

Yes, that way also is fine.

24-04-14, 9:01 p.m. shambhu

Okay then. Thanks once again. I am pleased with the kind of support you have provided. Hoping to get similar support for future issues (if any).
