[mikeanthonywild]

As part of #16 we will need to configure the ngspice-shared PPA to build for Ubuntu 17.10 (Artful).

Don't forget the magic additions needed to build libngspice.so:

After multiple attempts, this one's going on the backburner. Applying the patch above gets us exactly the files we need, however there's a bunch of extra complexity around creating a changefile etc.

For the time being it's easier to just wget the .deb that was already in the PPA and install that with dpkg...
