Cadence IC613: Problem in importing GDS2 file

iamlearning

Hi all,

I am facing a problem in importing GDS2 files in Cadence IC6.1.3.1. I can stream out a layout by 'CIW->File->export->stream' , but the 'stream in' fails when I try CIW->File->import->stream. No 'stream in' form or sub window appears and the CDS.log file notes the follwoing message:

 ...............

\a pipoDisplay(transStreamInForm)
\o Loading transUI.cxt
\o XStream/strminui is running (PID = ipc:2 )...
\r nil
\o
\o  XStream failed

.................

Can anyone please tell me what could be the possible solution of this problem?

Thank You,

Regards ...

    You need to have the missing shared library installed. This comes from the openmotif rpm - for example, on my machine:

    linux_10> rpm -q -f /usr/lib/libXm.so.3
    openmotif22-2.2.3-18.i386

    So you need to get that package installed.

    This problem has gone away with IC614 - so the checkSysConf patch data files have not been updated to reflect this. By the way, is there a good reason why you're using IC613 rather than IC614? IC613 is not supported as such any more - you should really be using IC614.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
