Liberate fails due to wrongly generated command

marten

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

    Run from my terminal, I was able to open the Spectre tool correctly using both commands.

    Probably I'll looking for the technical support to help me on this.

    Thanks,

    Jack

    Hi,

    I am also getting the same error(LIBERATE SYSTEM ERROR-could not execute the command...)

    When I ran spectre -W & spectre -h,

    its showing----->/mnt/cad /MMSIM131/tools.lnx86/spectre/bin/32bit/spectre : error while loading shared libraries : libreadline.so.5 : cannot open shared object file : No such file or directory.

    Please help me on this.

    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure the error is exactly the same - in this case it's spectre that is failing due to a missing shared library. I suspect the same thing might happen on that machine if you ran spectre directly.

    It might be that the libreadline.so.5 library is only installed in 64-bit mode, and so you might be able to fix that by doing:

    setenv CDS_AUTO_64BIT ALL

    before running Liberate. It's also possible that checkSysConf from the MMSIM131 stream would pick this up (because libreadline is one of the packages that it checks for in that version; of course, this depends on you running on a supported OS too).

    Finally, on my machine (a RedHat Enterprise 6.5 machine), the 32bit libreadline shared library comes from this RPM:

    compat-readline5-5.2-17.1.el6.i686

    So you may need to get that installed.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
