IC5141_USR6 in RHEL5

 Officially its unsupported, but that doesn't mean you can't use it. You just might have a hard time with linux libraries/.so's being newer than what IC is expecting (can be "resolved" by making symlinks to the older versions). My university has been working on FC10 with cadence tools for a long time, we haven't had any problems until upgrading to IC614. Install the tools thru installscape as usual I guess.

 Hi Satya

IC5141USR6.x will work fine on rhel5. Please install it using installscape. : )  Happy 2010.

Although strictly speaking IC5141 is not supported on RHEL5, I have been using it on RHEL5 for 2 and a quarter years. The main issue is that cdsdoc doesn't work. For me, I get around this by using cdnshelp (from MMSIM71/72 say) and then index the IC5141 documentation with:

cdnshelp -refresh -hierarchy <IC5141instDir>/doc

Although it is possible with a little hacking to get cdsdoc to work. Contact customer support and get them to give you the details of solution 11572400 . This isn't published on Cadence Online Support because I hadn't tested it enough to be certain it always works (it worked for me though).

Hi All !!

 Thanks for the reply and kind suggestions. I have successfully installed IC5141_USR6 on RHEL5.4 but while invoking icfb I am getting libXp.so.6 is not found error!! Does any one has solution for this...please reply with your solution...

Thanks,

Satya

There is an easy way to check which library is required for missing shared objects using 'yum' ('up2date' may have similar a function)... For example (as root) type

# yum provides libXp.so.6

which will return libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5.yourplatform. Then install by

# yum install libXp-1.0.0-8.1.el5.yourplatform

I am also attempting to run IC 5.1.41 in RHEL5, specifically 5.10.41.500.6.151 in RHEL/CENTOS 5.7 . 

Has anyone seen the follwing error and can you help me debug it?

sh: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

This seems to keep the library manager from opening.

thanks,

Dan
