IC614 issues with $DISPLAY

tkhan

When I launch IC614 virtuoso I get the following in CIW:

 

/CMC/tools/cadence/IC-6.1.4/tools.lnx86/dfII/bin/32bit/libManager: can't open display, exiting...

/CMC/tools/cadence/IC-6.1.4/tools.lnx86/dfII/bin/32bit/libSelect: can't open display, exiting...

I can not open Library Manager or Library Path Editor as a result. As well, when I run Calibre Interactive from Virtuoso XL,  CIW shows

 \o Application initialization failed: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variable

and Calibre does not open. IC613 and Calibre Interactive do not have this problem.

When I try getShellEnvVar("DISPLAY"), IC613 returns the correct screen, but IC614 returns nil. I have to manually do setShellEnvVar("DISPLAY=:0.0") in IC614 to resolve this issues. I am using the exact same environment setup scripts for IC613 and IC614, the sole difference being CDS_HOME for the respective IC61x installations. Any ideas?

My versions are  sub-version  IC6.1.4.500.2  (32-bit addresses) and sub-version IC6.1.3.500.16 (32-bit addresses)

     Hi Jaro,

     Can you please help tell me what was the exact string that needed to be commeneted out?

    Was the startup script inside a cadence env file?

     Thanks,

    SS
