URGENT: Running DRC using Dracula

Hi all,

I am now using Cadence 5.10.41. I tried to run DRC on a very simple
layout with PDRACULA and view the errors with DRACULA interactive.
However, when I load the error file by clicking DRC/setup..., only DLW
and Reference Window did pop up but Rules Layer Window and View DRC
Error Window are missing. I tried to open them by clicking DRC/get
Rules Layer Window and DRC/get View DRC Error Window, but no data can
be viewed.

I then tried run DRC on the same layout with Cadence version 4.6.6, it
worked as expected.

The following is what I have done:

with 4.6.6
1) compile drc rule deck
2) run jxrun.com
3) open DRACULA interactive and key in the working path under
DRC/setup...
4) DLW, Reference Window, RLW, and View DRC Error Window popped up

with 5.10.41
1) comple the same drc rule deck
2) run jxsub.com (tried to run jxrun.com; however, BOUNDARY.DAT and
LAYDE.DIS cannot be found)
3) open DRACULA interactive and key in the working path
4) only DLW and Reference Window popped up

(icfb has warnings:
Fail to open TMP.DAT
Fail to open M1DUMP.DAT
Fail to open TMP.DAT
.... (over 20 lines of "Fail to open ...")
LAYDE.DIS found at /home/.../.../...
BADPOR00.DAT does not exist in Dracula data directory !
HRP0500.DAT does not exist in Dracula data directory !
.... (over 20 lines of "... does not exist in Dracula data diretory !")
*WARNING* ge: failed to get a mfgFridResolution value from the tech
file
*WARNING* lsw: No valid layer purpose pairs. Setting the first lpp to
be valid.
*WARNING* hiSetWindowsAtts: appType not set)

Does anybody experience this before? Please advice. Thank you!!
 
Are you using a recent IC5141 subversion? There was a bug where Dracula
Interactive was very broken for some time - it's fixed in recent ISRs and IC5141
USR2.
