I tried installing ADMS, but failed at the make point. This is the error it throws:

/bin/sed: can't read Softwares/ADMS/admsXml/libadmsElement.la: No such file or directory
libtool:   error: 'Softwares/ADMS/admsXml/libadmsElement.la' is not a valid libtool archive

does your source directory path contain a space character?

in that case: avoid whitespace in identifiers (always).

@felix-salfelder : Thank you. I indeed had spaces in my source directory. Removing it solved the issue.

I had another issue during installation, which was solved by updating my dynamic libraries : sudo ldconfig.

that is a loader issue, platform bug, cache problem. whichever way, annoying, but not trivial to fix apparently.

cf. https://github.com/Qucs/ADMS/pull/64 for a workaround attempt. I lost track of which platforms/configurations are affected. never got back to it...
