Regarding : PVS - QRC RUN FAILURE

Hi Narendra

It means that your current version of QRC is older compared to the version which Globalfoundries had used to prepared the QRC package. The problem can be easily resolved by switching to a newer version of QRC (e.g. QRC14.1).

Best regards

 Thanks Quek for your valuble suggestions.

Now QRC was almost run after installed qrc newer version(EXT13.2).  But, At the end of qrc run it was failed and showing error like..,

ENDCAT

What OS distribution are you using? And what does "uname -a" report?

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

Sorry for late reply.

"uname -a" report on my side is -

Linux blue 2.6.32-431.el6.i686 #1 SMP Fri Nov 22 00:26:36 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
 

Thank you

Narendra

Narendra,

It looks as if you're using a 32-bit OS (although probably a RHEL6 flavour - you didn't say - given the kernel subversion). Generally speaking we don't support 32-bit OS for recent releases of the software, so the best thing to do is to update to a 64-bit OS.

I took a quick look, and initially thought by setting $CDS_AUTO_64BIT to "none" or "NONE" you could force QRC to run in 32-bit mode (the default for QRC is 64-bit. However, it appears that on RHEL6.1 and RHEL6.3 (i.e. the same region of kernel versions that you're using - RHEL6.3 is kernel  2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64) it always seems to run shapeServer in 64-bit mode even when CDS_AUTO_64BIT is set (the "qrc" executable is OK, but not shapeServer). On RHEL5.8 setting this successfully runs shapeServer in 32-bit mode.

So you really should run on a 64-bit OS. This can be seen in our platform support matrix.

Regards,

Andrew.
