error when launching cadence IC610

Not seen this reported before, but it appears to come from /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 - which is provided via the:

UNIX> rpm -q -f /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1
libXrender-0.9.1-3.1.i386

rpm. There's a similar 64 bit version as well. Of course, the exact version may depend on your OS.

Maybe you don't have it installed, or have an old version? Is it reallyy IC610? Or is it IC614 or IC615 that you're installing (IC614 is shown under IC610 in downloads.cadence.com since it's an update release of IC610, although in practice it is very different - I would strongly recommend against using the IC610 base release these days, since that came out 4.5 years ago and there have been major updates since then).

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the reply.
The version we installed is IC610. We didn't select IC614 or any other updates when we installed it, just IC610 base.

I found the 'usr/lib/libXrender.so.1' file, but didn't see file "libXrender-0.9.1-3.1.i386" you mentioned. Do you know how to check if I have the right "libXrender.so.1" file? and how about the "libXrender-0.9.1-3.1.i386" file? is it in the same folder or somewhere else?

Thank you so much for the help.

Unfortunately I cannot work out why this is failing - the version of the RPM looks OK, and I've tried running the base IC610 on a machine with a similar RPM (even with CDS_AUTO_64BIT set to ALL), and similar Assura and MMSIM versions - I cannot get it to fail.

Do you have $LD_ASSUME_KERNEL set? What OS are you running on (what does "cat /etc/redhat-release" show and what does "uname -a" show)?

Either way, this version is not supported any longer, so you really would be far better off installing either IC614 or IC615.

Regards,

Andrew.

About the "$LD_ASSUME_KERNEL set", I don't know how to check it.. Sorry. Could you let me know how to? 

If we cannot figure this out, we will switch to IC614 or IC615 as you suggest.

Thanks Andrew 

Hi Andrew,

 I updated our IC610 to IC614. But we had failures. The failure information is as following:

Error Downloading file:http://software.cadence.com/is/IC610/lnx86/Hotfix_IC06.14.511-614/Hotfix_IC06.14.511-614_lnx86.sdp

Error Downloading file:http://software.cadence.com/is/IC610/lnx86/Hotfix_IC06.14.511-614/CDROM1/README 

When we tried to run it after the install (Something wasn't installed due to the downloading error, but we run it anyway), there are error information as following:

/cadence/IC610/tools/dfII/bin/64bit/virtuoso:error while loading shared libraries: liboaCM. so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

I'm not sure if this error is due to the downloading and install failure. Do you have any advices?

Thanks much! 

Hi Sindy,

If you had failures during the download and install, why do you assume that the software will be able to work after knowing that it did not complete the installation task successfully?  I would recommend repeating the installation to completion and then seeing if you have issues after that; it seems the logical course of action to me.

Best regards,

Lawrence.

HI Lawrence,

 Yes. You are right. I just successfully installed the  missing files.

But still we have the error when run it.

/cadence/IC610/tools/dfII/bin/64bit/virtuoso:error while loading shared libraries: liboaCM. so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

Any clue? am I missing some shared library file? or a symbolic link missed? 

Thanks you Lawrence

 Do you have $OA_HOME set? If so, please unset the environment variable (in csh "unsetenv OA_HOME"). Did you do the configuration step after installing IC614, and if so, did you tell it to use the OpenAccess installation from somewhere else? The best thing to do is not to configure OpenAccess - leave it at the default which is to point at the OA build that comes with IC614. For example, at the root of your installation (/cadence/IC610 in your case) I have:

andrewb_26> ls -l share/oa
lrwxrwxrwx  1 eucdsmgr mail 16 Feb 13 00:09 share/oa -> ../oa_v22.04.072/

If you look in share/oa/lib/*/opt you should see the file that it's complaining about.

My guess is that either OA_HOME has been set, or your share/oa link is pointing in the wrong place.

Regards,

Andrew.
