virtuoso Segmentation fault

 To whom it may help

Recently ,we got  Virtuoso ic614 (sub-version IC6.1.4.500.6 (32-bit addresses)) installed on a new RHEL6 machines.

We follow the previous experience, and with all the ncessary packages intalled , such as:

libXp, libXi, libXrender, libXt, libXext, libXtst, elfutils-libelf, glibc, gcc, ksh, Xorg-x11-fonts, openmotif, mesa-libGL, mesa-libGLU  etc...

Previously , these installation approach works fine , but just for this new machines installation, we got trouble with the invoking.

 

When we start the Cadence -virtuoso, it always fail, and directly give us a message:

 Segmentation fault  Virtuoso

 

IF we go to the /var/log/message, we can see following information:

 Sep 25 15:06:33 MESOPOTAMIA kernel: virtuoso[15837]: segfault at 0 ip (null) sp 00000000ffdee470 error 14 in libX11.so.6.3.0[101000+135000]
Sep 25 15:06:33 MESOPOTAMIA kernel: type=1701 audit(1380117993.265:49): auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 ses=125 subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 pid=15837 comm="virtuoso" sig=11

 

Furthermore , the kernel of linux is:

2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Aug 27 14:23:09 CDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

 

 I don't know if any one can give us some hint for this information.

Or, is this means we have to upgrade to IC615.

    Mr. Andrew,

    Thanks for your reply. I am using Virtuoso IC6.1.5.500.14 .  Actually Virtuoso crash happened yesterday when I was viewing the circuit in Virtuoso XL. After that Whenever I try to open the circuit in Virtuoso, it closes and generate CDS.log.cdslck file in root. If I delete this file and try to open the circuit again, cdslck file is generated again. The lock is not fixed only to a particular circuit. I could not open any of the circuit in my system.  I show below the contents of CDS.log.cdslck file for your reference. How to rectify this?
