Hi Andrew,

I am experiencing a problem while trying to run iscape (recently downloaded from cadence website) in my 64 bit amd processor with Ubuntu 14.04 Lts amd 64bit installed in it. The error goes as follows.

pavan@pavan-pc:~/cadence/iscape.04.23-s004/bin$ ./iscape.sh
Initializing InstallScape using JVM at /home/pavan/cadence/iscape.04.23-s004/runtime/LNX86/bin/java. This might take some time...
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /home/pavan/cadence/iscape.04.23-s004/runtime/LNX86/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

 Please suggest me a solution for running iscape on my 64bit system.

 Thanks

    First of all, Ubuntu is not a supported operating system for Cadence tools. See platform support.

    However this is probably easily solved by installing the 32-bit version of libXext.so.6. On my 64-bit RHEL6 machine, this is at /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 and is available in the 32-bit version of the libXext-1.1-3.el6.i686 RPM.

    It's OK to have 32-bit packages installed on a 64-bit OS (not the other way around though).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
