error while running spectre

Bhavsh

When i tried to run the spectre for a design ,the following error is coming  in CIW.

" *Error* Unable to locate 'spectre' executable in the specified path.
        To set the correct path, use setShellEnvVar() in CIW".

I used ADEL in IC610,i thought this error is due to path in simulator/directory/host in analog design environment window,,but it may not be the cause for it..I am not getting exactly which path to change??.

How can i solve this??

    I set the path using the commands given by you,but stil its giving the error,..error is

    "*Error* The 'spectre' executable that you are using is an older version.
            Use MMSIM60 or later version of Spectre with this release.
            To check the spectre version, run 'spectre -W'. "

    But i installed new version MMSIM71,.After using the  'spectre -W'.:its showing "sub-version  7.1.1.221.isr13".

    While installing i didnt get any error,but i am not able to configure MMSIM71,if i go through iscape for configuration ,its not showing any installed products.Even "link" for "tools" inside installed MMSIM directory is also not formed.And also i am not finding "bin" inside the share of path ->" MMSIM_installed_dir /share/".Is that bin is needed..

    Is there any relation with this the above error is??
