spp is not working

marklin

I need to convert from spice model to spectre model.    When I type spp,  I got   

/cadence/cds/IC5141-usr6/tools/lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.3' not found (required by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5)

When I check the libgcc_s.so.1 in either /lib  or /cadence/cds/IC5141-usr6/tools/lib, 

strings /cadence/cds/IC5141-usr6/tools/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 | grep "GCC"    comes up   GCC_3.0

strings  /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 | grep "GCC"  comes up

GCC_3.0
GCC_3.3
GCC_3.3.1
GCC_3.4
GCC_3.4.2
GCC_4.0.0
GCC_4.2.0

Why spp has to use /cadence/cds/IC5141-usr6/tools/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 instead of /lib/libgcc_s.so.1?

Thanks.

  • Thank you, Andrew.  Yes, I am still using the legacy IC5141-usr6 but my Spectre is from MMSIM141.    Basically, I just want to use spp to convert a BSIM3v3 model file to Spectre model file but was stuck with libgcc_s.so.1 issue.  I always use oceanscript to run spectre (but in oceanscript, it seems like it only has modelFile(---) for including model file)

    I did try to use Spectre to read directly the original BSIM3v3 (level=53) model file supplied by foundry (an old process that foundry doesn't have Spectre model file).   However, I only had very limited success.  The error messages are all over the spectrum when Spectre was trying to read this foundry-supplied model file, depending on how I modified the syntax of this as-is file.    Is it true to say that Spectre cannot read as-is BSIM3v3 model file if it is running in IC5141?
