LVS Problem with Artist Flat Netlisting

Hello,

I encountered a LVS problem a week ago. I searched this forum before I post but I think my LVS problem is unique. Here is a section of the error log

Begin netlist: Mar 27 11:49:11 2009
view name list = ("auLvs" "extracted" "schematic")
stop name list = ("auLvs")
library name = "test"
cell name = "inv"
view name = "extracted"
globals lib = "basic"
Running Artist Flat Netlisting ...
*Error* sh: artcpp: not found

*Error* in modelPath:
-Y/n/homeserver2/user2a/mcwang/cadence/LVS/layout 

When I clicked on the "RUN" button for DivaLVS, the CIW windows said LVS started, but then a pop-up message said the LVS has failed. I checked the error log and posted a portion of it above
I am especially confounded by this error message; I am not sure what it means

*Error* sh: artcpp: not found;

Can anyone please help? I'd greatly appreciate it!

    artcpp should be in <ICinstDir>/tools/dfII/bin - is it there? Do you have that directory in your UNIX $PATH ?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Thank you very much Andrew. That's exactly what happened. artcpp file was in <ICinstDir>/tools/dfII/bin but I did not set the environment variable in $PATH. After I did that the problem is gone. Thanks again!!!
