Hi,

I'm working on old process which using still IC5141. Trying to lefout a very simple layout (just with shape and pin only), but encountered error as below. I'm having difficulty in troubleshooting. 

May need some advice for those whom encountered the same issue to point me the problematic part.

Version: "@(#)$CDS: layoutPlus.exe version 5.1.0 02/02/2009 09:56 (cicln04) $"

Thanks a lot.

    Hi How,

    What version of Linux are you running on? Perhaps it is too new (RHEL6?) I'm not sure but there are changes between, say, RHEL4 and later releases regarding colour, for example the location of rgb.txt in RHEL5 is /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt rather than /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt according to a case I found...

    I don't know if this helps, but try looking at your setup to see if this file might be the culprit?  ALso, your .cdsenv contains things from a later release that IC5141 does not know about, either move it aside, or create version specific cdsenv files.

    Regards,

    Lawrence.
