ERROR (SPECTRE-8390): Problem encountered in setting up the mpsc front end.

admin

Hello World!, This is my first post in this forum.

I would appreciate some help with this issue. I'm using ADE L inside Virtuoso environment to perform some simulations, but when I press "Netlist and Run" button the simulation is not performed and shows the message:

Error found by spectre.
    ERROR (SPECTRE-8390): Problem encountered in setting up the mpsc front end.



I have googled this kind of error but couldn't find any information about it. I have read the post in http://www.cadence.com/forums/p/27332/1327269.aspx#1327269 as well, but I think the solution described there doesn't help me because I'm not trying to run the simulation from command line.

The full log is attached.


Does anyone know a solution for this kind of error?

Thank you.

    Hi Arthur

    Would you please try the following to see if it helps?

    a. Close ADE-L
    b. Enter the following in CIW:

    envSetVal("spectre.envOpts" "controlMode" 'string "batch")

    c. Re-open ADE-L and retry simulation.

    Best regards
