Hi there, guys
I'm trying to figure out my first Cadence installation ... but it
seems I kinda need your help...so here it goes:

The installation part from the terminal went great ... but I have
these problems setting up the configuraton files.

I configured the Bind key by copying all the files from <install_dir>/
tools/dfII/sample/local to <install_dir>/tools/dfII/local, and
renamed the cdsinit to .cdsinit.

So far so good.

I edited .bashrc in the /home/user/ folder and it looks like this:
Code:
export CDS_ROOT=/home/bogdan/IC5033/
export CDS_INST_DIR=$CDS_ROOT
export CDS_INSTALL_DIR=$CDS_ROOT/tools/dfII

export CDSDIR=$CDS_ROOT/tools
export CDS_Netlisting_Mode=Analog

export MOZILLA_HOME=/usr/bin/netscape
export XKEYSYMDB=$CDS_ROOT/share/cdssetup/tdmX11/XKeysymDB
export XNLSPATH=$CDS_ROOT/share/cdssetup/tdmX11/nls
export CDS_WAVESCAN_JRE_DIR=$CDS_ROOT/tools/jre1.41

export CDS_LIC_FILE=$CDS_ROOT/share/license/cadence_license_full.dat
export LM_LICENSE_FILE=$CDS_ROOT/share/license/
cadence_license_full.dat
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$CDS_ROOT/tools/lib:
$CDS_INSTALL_DIR/lib

PATH=$PATH:$CDSDIR/bin:$CDSDIR/dfII/bin:$CDSDIR/SKILL06.00/context:
$CDSDIR/SKILL06.10/context:$CDSDIR/dracula/bin
# PATH=$PATH:$MMSIM_ROOT/tools/bin:$MMSIM_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin:
$CDS_ROOT/tools/bin:$CDS_ROOT/tools/dfII/bin:/usr/sbin
PATH=$CDS_ROOT/tools/bin:$CDS_INSTALL_DIR/bin:$CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/
bin
PATH=$PATH:$CDS_ROOT/tools/bin:$CDS_INSTALL_DIR/bin:$CDS_ROOT/tools/
spectre/bin
PATH=$PATH:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/etc:/usr/openwin/
bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
export PATH
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------

# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific aliases and functions


I copied the license.dat to /home/bogdan/IC5033/share/license/
cadence_license_full.dat (as the .bashrc file says). Was there
anything else to do because after restarting the konsole and when I
try to run icfb& it says:

Code:
[1] 4168
[bogdan(at)localhost ~]$ /home/bogdan/IC5033/tools/dfII/bin/icfb.exe:
relocation error: /home/bogdan/IC5033/tools/dfII/bin/icfb.exe: symbol
errno, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time
reference

[1]+ Exit 127 icfb


Thanks in advance.
 
Hi,

Can you try the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL as explained in a previous post ?
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.cad.cadence/browse_thread/thread/cba0d4ce6d7f9bdb/0871fbe7b9c309ba?lnk=st&q=LD_ASSUME_KERNEL#0871fbe7b9c309ba

Hope this help !
You better get in touch with your favourite Cadence Support Engineer
otherwise.

Your Cadence Support Engineer would tell you that neither IC5033 or Scientific
Linux 5.1 are supported. That said, I suspect that Scientific Linux is broadly
compatible with RHEL 5.1 from a quick glance at the Scientific Linux web site.
You'd probably be able to run IC5141 (recent ISRs) or IC61X on this, although it
wouldn't be supported. IC5033 hasn't been supported for some considerable time
though.

Regards,

Andrew.

Well, I've added in the .bashrc file the following line: export
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL="2.6.18" (adjusted for my case).
and terminal still gives the same message error when I type icfb. Any
other suggestions ? I really need this installed because I have this
important project coming up ...

I suspect your kernel is actually 2.6.18, so there's no point setting
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to whatever your kernel actually is - the whole point of the
environment variable is to tell the linker that it should assume you're using
an older kernel.

As I said before, I wouldn't necessarily expect this to work. I have RHEL 5.1
on my laptop, and tried IC5033 (the last ISR there was), and got the same
error.

Setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to 2.4.1 gives a different error.

I think you're probably doomed. As I said in my previous post, try a more
recent (and supported) version of IC if you're going to use this compute platform.

Andrew.

I really need this installed ... ( any ideas are welcomed ) because I
have this important project coming up.
At this point do I have to install some other linux distro ?

- Yes, I've tried setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL to an older version , but
it gave other errors ... even ls wasn't working ...
So I'm doomed, huh ? I only have this installation kit : IC5033 ... so
I said that I have to deal with it and to deal with the installation.
I really don't know any other download sources. Does anybody know
any ?
- I read a lot about compatible Linux Distros and I got to the
conclusion that using Scientific Linux 5.1 or CentOs 5.1 is the same
as using RHEL.
First I tried older linux distros like: Redhat 8 or 9 but I couldn't
even start the installation because they didn't even have support for
sATA hard-drives.

Would it be better if I install IC5141 ? The fact that I'm using
another version of IC must not influence the fact that I'm working
with a certain technology, right ?

Bogdan,

I can run IC5033 on RHEL4. RH8 or RH9 are pretty old. RHEL4 may well support the
drivers you need for your hardware?

IC5141 _might_ be OK. It depends on the design kit you're using. Sometimes they
have coding to check the version number and disallow it if using a newer
version. Usually there is little technical reason why you couldn't use it, but
because it hasn't been validated by the design kit provider, they disallow it.

Andrew.
