tail error in CDS log

[upen]

I am trying to use RFexample and trying to do hspiceD simulator use
but all virtuoso application windows hang at this point of time. Below
is the log.

Any idea what is this? This did not happen for my old version of IC61

Try first to solve the error I've isolated. I guess what follows is due to
it.

Thanks Jean-Marc.

I added spectre binary path in my PATH, so ADE-3023 is taken care of.

Now I have

ERROR (ADE-3036): Errors encountered during simulation. The simulator
run log has not been generated.
\o Possible cause could be an invalid command line option for
the version of the simulator
\o you are running. Choose Setup->Environment and verify that
the command line options
\o specified in the userCmdLineOption field are supported for
the simulator.
\o Alternatively, run the simulator standalone using the

\o directory to know the exact cause of the error.

\r t
\a sevOpenPlotWindow('sevSession1)
\o usage: tail [+/-[n][lbc][f]] [file]
\o tail [+/-[n][l][r|f]] [file]

I will try to solve them one by one. I know mmsim version is 62 and
very old.

Thanks and good day.

That's almost certainly a patch problem (it's come up frequently before on this
forum).

Go into the netlist directory, and invoke the "runSimulation" script, and see if
you get some errors. Most likely the simulator didn't start due to some missing
shared libraries.

As for the tail problem, I think that looks like CCR 771932 which was filed very
recently, and I think may be as a result of a modification that was made in
6.1.4.500.2 (which you're using). You should contact Cadence customer support,
really.

Regards,

Andrew.

Okay Thanks.I will try manual commands.

After editing PATH variable netlist/run worked fine. Then, when I
click on Waveform, I got those messages in my second post.

Thanks about CCR number. I have already sent Cadence engineer my
question but we already got another SR going on so posted the question
here. Many times I see quicker reponses (<24hours) here for simple
questions.
