Cadence IC613: Problem in importing GDS2 file

Thank you Andrew. It's clear now. I must try that ....

Best Regards

Hello,

I tried 'strminui'  and  'strminui -32'  from a termnal window and it failed with the following message:

/usr/local/cadence/ic613/tools/dfII/bin/32bit/strminui: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

whereas, I could see both the 'strmin' and 'strminui'  in '~/ic613/tools/dfII/bin/32bit' and in '~/ic613/tools/dfII/bin' directories. I got some information when I typed 'strmin' in the terminal. I copied them in a text file and would like to attach herewith. By the way, the 'stream out' form appeared with no problem when I typed 'strmoutui' in the same termincal window.

Can anyone please find anything out of it?

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.

Andrew.

Thank You Andrew for your nice explanation. Now I understand :) . So, I don't need to install this package for IC614. I tried the 'stream in' with IC612 and the story was same. It means, 'stream in' is out of virtuoso in IC612 as well !!

However, the 'good reason' of using IC613 was, the PDK which I am using recommends this version in their release notes :) . Nevertheless, I must install IC614 to give it a try.

Thanks a lot

Dear Andrew,

I would like to write that, today I found my shared object file. It is '/usr/lib/libXm.so.4' rather than '/usr/lib/libXm.so.3' and is a linking file pointing to the 'libXm.so.4.0.0' as can be seen in the attached screen shot. 

Can you please suggest me any way to use 'libXm.so.4' in place of 'libXm.so.3' for streaming in the GDS files? Will it work if I create another linking file named 'libXm.so.3' pointing to the 'libXm.so.4.0.0' ? Or is there any way to edit the 'strminui' file so that it seeks for the 'libXm.so.4' instead of 'libXm.so.3' ?

Thank You,

Best Regards ...

I think these come from different rpms. On my machine I see:

linux_3> rpm -q -f /usr/lib/libXm.so.4
openmotif-2.3.0-0.3.el5.i386
linux_4> rpm -q -f /usr/lib/libXm.so.3
openmotif22-2.2.3-18.i386

So I think it's a matter of installing the right rpms, as I said before.

Regards,

Andrew.

I understand. Thank You Andrew .
