VerilogA Problem in MMSIM-7.1

Hi,

 I am having a problem to simulate my verilogA files under MMSIM 7.1. They work fine under MMSIM-6.0. In spectreout, I get:

ERROR (VACOMP-1008): Cannot compile ahdlcmi module library. Check the log file input.ahdlSimDB/3821_soi12so_Test_Tapeout_Sept09_BinarySearch_veriloga_veriloga.va.BinSearch.ahdlcmi/Linux2.6.11.4-21.9-smp+gcc/ for details. If the compiler ran out of memory, use 'setenv CDS_CMI_COMPLEVEL 0', and try again. If the reason for the failure was a syntax error, contact your Cadence Customer Support representative with the netlist, log files, behavioral model files, and any other information that can help identify the problem.

 In  ahdlcmi.out, I get:

/usr/cds/mmsim-7.1/tools.lnx86/systemc/gcc/4.1/bin/gcc  -march=i486 -ffast-math -O3 -DSYSV -DSVR4 -D_REENTRANT -fPIC   -DconfigSPECTRE -I. -I/usr/cds/mmsim-7.1/tools.lnx86/spectre/ahdlcmi/include -c BinSearch_DcFuncDerLoad.c -o obj/optimize/5.0/BinSearch_DcFuncDerLoad.o || rm -f -f obj/optimize/5.0/BinSearch_DcFuncDerLoad.o;
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory

I attached the log files. Does anyone have an idea?

 

Thanks,

Gokce

    Ted,

    First of all, CentOS is not supported at all (we don't test on it), but generally will work because it corresponds to RHEL releases (which we do test). With CentOS7, that corresponds to RHEL7, and we have not released any MMSIM releases yet which are supported on RHEL7. RHEL7 is on the support matrix for new releases in 2015 however.

    RHEL7 has a major kernel version change, so there are likely to be some compatibility issues.

    Secondly, MMSIM71 is a rather old release. Since MMSIM71 there has been MMSIM72, MMSIM101, MMSIM111, MMSIM121, MMSIM131 and MMSIM141. That means there have been 6 new major releases since then - and these come out approximately once a year. So you're attempting to run a 7 year old release of MMSIM on a fairly up to date OS. That's asking for trouble, especially when it's a not insignificant change in the OS. MMSIM71 wasn't even supported on RHEL6 (I can't remember the support matrix for MMSIM71 as it was so long ago).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
