QRC (EXT91) always fails

Zach
Zach over 14 years ago

Greetings.  First post here.  I can use QRC via EXT71 and EXT81 with no problem.  But when I envoke EXT91, QRC instantly fails to run.  Specifically using IC5.1.41 and qrc -v --> EXT 9.1.2-p009.  The log file gives errors as follows:

 

INFO (EXTQRCXOPT-249) : For Assura inputs, if the "output_setup -directory_name" option was not
specified, it is automatically set to the input directory.
Killed
ERROR (LBRCXM-554): ?capCouplingFactor is an unrecognized rcxParameter in the DFII flow.

ERROR (LBRCXM-554): ?capGround is an unrecognized rcxParameter in the DFII flow.

ERROR (LBRCXM-554): ?arrayViasSpacing is an unrecognized rcxParameter in the DFII flow.

ERROR (LBRCXM-554): ?maxFractureLength is an unrecognized rcxParameter in the DFII flow.

...

 

ERROR (LBRCXM-554): ?capExtractMode is an unrecognized rcxParameter in the DFII flow.

INFO (LBRCXM-699): Errors exist in master control file "<>/assura_lvs/lvs/__qrc.rcx_cmd".

INFO (LBRCXM-709): *****  QRC terminated abnormally  *****


INFO (EXTQRCXOPT-249) : For Assura inputs, if the "output_setup -directory_name" option was not
specified, it is automatically set to the input directory.

 ---------------

 This has happended to me with multiple PDK's that support EXT91.  So it must be a setup error and unrelated to the PDK files.  I would appreciate if any advice could be offered.  Thanks.

    So after installing libsunperf.so.7 I can get qrc91 to complete.  Apparently we had an early version of SunStudio12 and several patches have been applied but they didn't contain the needed file.  Only the updated base package has this file.  Thanks Quek for the tip.
