IC610 on OpenSolaris

Hello,

I am trying to install Cadence IC610 (IC-614 06.14.506 Solaris 10)
suite on OpenSolaris 2009.6 version.

It seems that all the installation and configuration process using
Installscape are finished without problem,
but I encounter an error message like the following when I try to
launch virtuoso design environment.

virtuoso:   ERROR: The command /tools/cadence/IC610/share/oa/bin/
sysname returned an error status:
                            unknown
virtuoso:    INFO: Note that OpenAccess (OA) requires running the
Configure phase.
virtuoso:          See the "OpenAccess Installation and Configuration
Guide" before
virtuoso:          you complete the configuration step. This manual is
included with
virtuoso:          the Cadence product documentation.

[1]    Exit 1                        virtuoso

First of all, can I run IC610 on OpenSolaris machine? Is IC610
Solaris10 (x86) version compatible with OpenSolaris? I tried this way
since OpenSolaris is mostly compatible with Solaris 10, so I wanted to
give it a shot.

If they are compatible, does anyone have any suggestion to solve this
error?

Thank you in advance.

    First of all, we do not support OpenSolaris. By "support", I mean that no testing has been done using OpenSolaris, and so if there are any problems there's no guarantee to fix them.

    See http://support.cadence.com/wps/mypoc/cos?uri=deeplinkmin:ComputingPlatforms

    That said, it may well work. However, you didn't say which Solaris installation you used. We have both "Solaris" (which is for Sparc based hardware) and "Sol_x86_64" which is for 64 bit x86 (i.e. PC) hardware. Did you download the right one?

    By the way, there are not a great deal of users who use Cadence tools on Solaris x86 (as far as I know) - in Europe at least. Not sure about elsewhere in the world...

    Regards,

    Andrew.
