Does Assura version affect QRC

Jsierra

 Hi,
I'm trying to setup QRC and I've followed the manual by adding the following:

In the csh file:

setpath = ($EXT_8_1_4/tools/bin $path)

In the cds file:

setenv QRC_HOME usr/cds/ext-8.1.4

 

However QRC is not showing up in the menu on the virtuoso layout editor.


I'm using IC 5.1.41 latest subversion, Assura 3.1.5

Could this be due to the version of assura I am using?



Thanks,
Jon

    You don't need QRC_ENABLE_EXTRACTION in EXT81; just having QRC_HOME and $QRC_HOME/bin in your path ($QRC_HOME/tools/bin should work too) should be sufficient. Also, now the requirement to not have ASSURAHOME set has gone. I get both Assura and QRC menus.

    It may well be that there's some dependency on the Assura version. Try unsetting ASSURAHOME and removing Assura from the path to see if that fixes it.

    As has been said, Assura 3.1.5 is quite old, so I'd recommend moving to 3.2 - I can't test 3.1.5 because I no longer have it installed.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
