    Assuming that it's spectre that you're trying to use, it's telling you that it can't find the executable for spectre in your UNIX path.

    So before you start "virtuoso", you'll probably find that "which spectre" can't find the simulator. You'd fix this by doing:

      set path = (/path/to/your/MMSIMinstallation/tools/bin $path)

    if using csh, or if using bash or ksh:

      export PATH=/path/to/your/MMSIMinstallation/tools/bin:$PATH

    (of course, change the /path/to/your/... bit appropriately).

    Check it's OK by typing "spectre -W" (to show the subversion of spectre). Then start virtuoso.

    If it's a different simulator, you need to make sure that the UNIX path is set up to access that simulator executable.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

    " export PATH = /path/to/home/linux/cadence/virtuoso/bin/:&PATH " ?
