There is no report of this on their bugtracker.

I also checked their documentation, and it did not say what that number is for. Are you sure that field is meant to be a history line number?

Yes, I've used ngspice before. This number is like octave's or maxima's prompt.

Would you be interested in opening this issue on ngspice's bugtracker at sourceforge?

I compiled ngspice from source in a Slackware 14.0 box and there's no problem there, the prompt counter gets correctly incremented with each history command.

Here's a screenshot.

What version of gcc did you use on slackware? This might be a gcc 4.7 bug.

Also odd, the history is properly logged to ~/.ngspice_history and the 'history' command works properly. I am out of ideas for today.

Odd indeed.

Here's the output for gcc -v for both my Arch and Slackware boxes.

This continues to be an issue on the ngspice-25-1 build.

Found the reason, I recompiled ngspice using '--with-readline=yes' instead of '--with-editline=yes'. See PKGBUILD attached, fixed the issue + some extras.
