No.

The easiest way to fix it is to move it into the gnucap source 
tree.

From where you unpacked, assuming you have "gnucap-2007-02-21" 
and "plugins" ......do this "mv plugins gnucap-2007-02-21"

Or, you can modify the file "Make2", line "GNUCAP_INCLUDES" to 
point to the gnucap source directory, which is where the 
includes are.

This is a development snapshot, so prepare for surprises.
Not all of the models work.

There will be a new development snapshot in a day or two, with 
some bug fixes, mostly relating to spice plugins, and hopefully 
at least partially fixing some things like how the plugins find 
the includes.

The "ngspice17-models" tarball is intended for use if you really 
want the exact models that are in ngspice.  If you want a BSIM 
model, you are better off with the "bsim-models" tarball.

Eventually, before the next "stable" release, you will need 
to "install" gnucap, which will put he includes in a public 
place, before you can compile the plugins.  The intent is that 
gnucap will compile it for you, so you won't have to compile 
plugins when you install.  It's not there yet.
