What's wrong with necoell? That program doesn't run and Cadence still try to sell it?

Try to try out the program if it's any good.  ./neocell   it would complains missing library of libsstring.so,  libechelon.so, libwmb.so , what?

Those library names aren't even in Redhat enterprise 5.3 disk..  Do a google search,  no such libraries found either.

obviously, that program is not working and probably nobody ever buy it.  Otherwise how can people not complain about missing some exotic named libraries that can't even found in google.

    You could try using a supported platform... there's a reason why Cadence has the platform support matrix. 

    Alternatively you _might_ get away with hacking the <NEOCELLinstDir>/tools/NeoCell/bin/NeoWrap script and comment out the line setting LD_ASSUME_KERNEL. I have no idea whether this will work or will break things (I'm not in the office and can't test it). If it doesn't work, you probably have no choice but to use a supported OS (I think you'd be OK with anything less than RHEL5 though - RHEL5 is too big a kernel revision change from the build platform for NEOCELL34).

    The other possibility is to move to IC613 - is that a possibility? Virtuoso Layout Suite GXL provides the NeoCell functionality, but integrated into the environment.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
