    Did you look in that file? My guess is that you're trying to run on a 32-bit operating system, and that is not supported (since MMSIM11.1 and also most other releases of a similar vintage, we only support running on 64-bit operating systems, even if the software may be running in 32-bit mode). What does the UNIX command "uname -a" report?

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    I am using Linux RED HAT 5, I am not so good in Linux I am using linux only for CADENCE in my college lab so I anm not able to find the path of the file input.ahdlsimDB file and about operating system I will see and tell you. From where I can see UNIX command report?

    thank you for helping me

    Presumably you ran virtuoso in a terminal window (where you typed "virtuoso"), so you could type "uname -a" there. Alternatively, in the CIW type:

    sh("xterm &")

    and in the window that pops up, type "uname -a".

    For the input.ahdlsimDB file, this will be in the same directory as the netlist. If you do Simulation->Netlist->Display and at the top of the window it should give you the path to the netlist directory. You could "cd" in a terminal window to the same place - but to be honest, it doesn't make much sense to try to teach you to use Linux here - we may be a while...

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    The right solution is to upgrade your operating system to 64 bit (this is of course assuming that you're running on 64 bit hardware, but if it isn't, it must be very old indeed).

    You might be able to get away with adding "-ac 0 -bc 0" into the userCmdLineOption field in the ADE Setup->Environment window, but certain parts of the tools require the compilation of VerilogA to C (and it's a good idea for performance anyway). So I would focus on getting your machine(s) upgraded.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    Ok finally I am going to upgrade the os. But I have few questions 

    can I install 64 bit os on 32 processor?

    is there necessery to install server edition only to run the cadence?

    is there any free resource to download the red hat linux 64 bit?

     if other system of my lab are of older version and i am installing the new version is there any problem with that?

    My questions may be silly but plz help me. 

    thanks fpr your help

    You can't install a 64 bit OS on a 32 bit processor.

    Workstation or server editions are both fine.

    The enterprise editions are not free. There are similar (supposedly compatible) distributions such as CentOS but these are not supported - ie we do not test on them.

    It doesn't matter if you have a mix of OS versions on the same network.

    Regards,

    Andrew
