Spectre simulation error

CCH01
CCH01 over 15 years ago

Hello everyone~
I just install MMSIM7.1 with IC5141_USR6 and try to simulation a simple circuit, but when I finish all settings
go "netlist and run". It stopped at CIW and showed the following message
"errors encountered during simulation. the simulator run log has not been generated. Possible
cause could be an invalid command line option for the version of the simulator you are
running. choose setup ->environment and verify that the command line option specified in
the userCmdLineOption field are supported for the simulator.
Alternatively run the simulator standalone using the runSimulation file in the netlist
directory to know the exact cause of the error."

and then I run the runsimulation and get a message
"/usr/cad/cadence/MMSIM/cur/tools.lnx86/spectre/bin/32bit/spectre: error while loading shared libraries: libelf.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
I don't know how to fix this problem. I probably made some mistakes at somewhere.
Please give me some advise !!

     It's probably just picking up the 64 bit version of libelf.so.1 (which is in /usr/lib64) (maybe you have $LD_LIBRARY_PATH including that directory) but you'll need the 32 bit version of this library. On my machine:

    UNIX> rpm -q -f /usr/lib/libelf.so.1
    elfutils-libelf-0.125-3.el5.i386

    Note that CentOS 5.5 is not a supported distribution and so no testing has been done on it, and no patch data files are provided for it either.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
