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.

    Hi Mark,

    No, spectre should be able to natively read the model without you having to convert it. The fact that you are using IC5141 is irrelevant because it's the simulator that's reading it (assuming you really are using spectre from MMSIM141 which should be clear from the log file). Make sure that the file has a suffix other than ".scs" (.scs implies spectre syntax, anything else implies SPICE).

    Perhaps you should contact customer support so that we can take a look at the problems via a webex session with you?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
