 ok, did you follow the investigatory advice i sent? spike is
subdivided into "main stub program" and "libraries implementing
instructions that the stub executable will load".

 if there are *TWO* copies of those libraries, somewhere in the path,
what do you imagine will happen?

 one of them will take priority, won't it, no matter how many times
you install "the other one"?

 so that's why i said, you need to track down where the program - and
the libraries - which you can see in the riscv-isa-sim directory with
"ls -altr *.so" - have been installed.

 it's on the console... *IF* you follow the advice that i gave in the
previous message and track down where the standard riscv-tools build
process has placed spike and its associated libraries, and remove /
rename them.

 :)

 do add things, on the wiki page, directly, in real-time *as you are
going along*, otherwise little details tend to get forgotten.

 do not be in the least bit afraid "oh i might break something" on the
wiki page, it's backed by a git repository so there is absolutely no
chance of losing anything.
