Calibre(cal_2011.4_35.27) compatible with IC615?

Dear Folks,

 

   We installed the Calibre (x86_cal_2011.4_35.27) on both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux machines with IC615 (IC-6.1.5-hf510). But it does not seem working properly. The calibre interface can be opened, but the DRC and RVE can not be run and showed the following errors:

 

 *Error* fprintf/sprintf: format spec. incompatible with data - "Format is '%s -hierDepth %s', argument #2 is 20"
<<< Stack Trace >>>
_sprintf("%s -hierDepth %s" strm_cmd (streamOutKeys->hierDepth))
(strm_cmd = _sprintf("%s -hierDepth %s" strm_cmd (streamOutKeys->hierDepth)))
sprintf(strm_cmd "%s -hierDepth %s" strm_cmd (streamOutKeys->hierDepth))
when(((streamOutKeys->

hierDepth) && ((streamOutKeys->hierDepth) != "")) sprintf(strm_cmd "%s -hierDepth %s" strm_cmd (streamOutKeys->hierDepth)))
let((strm_cmd tf) sprintf(nil "%L%L%L%L" libName cellName viewName ... ) (strm_cmd = strcat("strmout -library '" (streamOutKeys->libName) "'" " -strmFile " (streamOutKeys->outFile) ... )) unless(((streamOutKeys->cellMapTable) == "") (strm_cmd = strcat(strm_cmd " -cellMap " &))) unless(((streamOutKeys->layerTable) == "") (strm_cmd = strcat(strm_cmd " -layerMap " &))) ... )
mgc_rve_export_get_oastream_cmd(libName cellName viewName fileName)
(cmd = mgc_rve_export_get_oastream_cmd(libName cellName viewName fileName))

 

   Has anyone met the same problem?

 

Regards,

    It appears that Calibre is trying to run the stream out and it doesn't know that you are using a 6.1 version of Cadence software. The stream out tools are different in 5.1.41 and 6.1 so Calibre probably needs some environment variable to let it know what version to run. The error message indicates that a 5.1.41 stream out template file is being used. This is a Skill based template file with a disembodied property list streamOutKeys. In 6.1, the template file uses a simple text file with key words in the first column and values (sometimes) in the second column.

    If you start Cadence with some wrapper that sets up environment variables, you'll need to set the same variables when starting Calibre. I don't know if it is looling for $OA_HOME or for virtuoso (6.1) in the path or for strmout (6.1) in the path.
