ADE simulates, won't display results

Kaou

When I run a simulation from ADE L, it appears to complete; however, when it tries to display the results (or I try to open a results browser) I get the following output on the command window:

Loading viva.cxt

This started happening when I was trying to troubleshoot ADE GXL (similar issue to www.cadence.com/.../13377.aspx) and I installed libgdbm.so.2 to a folder in my path. ADE L used to work on this system, which is a Debian Wheezy installation using the NCSU CDK and now it won't. Any help in getting this issue resolved would be much appreciated.

    Hi,

    If checkSysConf is failing, you need to get your system administrator involved to upgrade patches/OS/etc. on your machine.

    A requirement of Cadence software running successfully is checkSysConf passing.  

    Also, you are using a pretty old version of IC tools.  Currently IC6.1.5 is the most recent release.

    Best regards,
