Liberate fails due to wrongly generated command

Hi there,


when we start liberate for the characterization of our standardcell lib, the char_library command fails with this error message:

sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad fd number
LIBERATE - SYSTEM ERROR - could not execute command: cd /home/sachatterjee/subvt_28/SUBVT28CORE_test/lib/altos.vnode3.ks.T20150914115612398704S0023683.0; /sct/homes3/cadence/mmsim-13.11hf252/tools/bin/spectre  +lqt 0 /home/sachatterjee/subvt_28/SUBVT28CORE_test/lib/altos.vnode3.ks.T20150914115612398704S0023683.0/sim.sp >& /home/sachatterjee/subvt_28/SUBVT28CORE_test/lib/altos.vnode3.ks.T20150914115612398704S0023683.0/sim.lis


Obviously, the pipe command " >& " is wrong syntax for sh and maybe it is meant to be run in a bash. How can we force liberate to use bash instead of sh?

Cheers,

Marten

    That wasn't what I meant - telling Liberate to run spectre -h or spectre -W is never going to work.

    I wanted to know what happens if you run "spectre -h" or "spectre -W" from the terminal (i.e. the same place you run Liberate).

    Note, Liberate is not something I have that much experience with, so you almost certainly would be better off going to customer support, I think (I'm travelling too, so can't spend much time on this either).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
