spectre error (64bit/32bit) on linux

Hi Andrew,


When I tried to run spectre sim, I had error messages as below:

ERROR (ADE-3036): Errors encountered during simulation. The simulator run log has not been generated.
        Possible cause could be an invalid command line option for the version of the simulator
        you are running. Choose Setup->Environment and verify that the command line options
        specified in the userCmdLineOption field are supported for the simulator.
        Alternatively, run the simulator standalone using the runSimulation file in the netlist
        directory to know the exact cause of the error.

I then ran runSimulation file, error message is:

/tool/cbar/apps/cadenceMMSIM/12.11.164/tools/spectre/bin/64bit/spectre: error while loading shared libraries: libreadline.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ERROR: Cannot execute 'spectre input.scs +escchars +log ../psf/spectre.out +inter=mpsc +mpssession=spectre0_15953_1 -format psfbin -raw ../psf +lqtimeout 900 -maxw 5 -maxn 5'

I'm currently running on RHEL 5.8 (Tikanga), however, if I ran on RHEL6 (Santiago). It works fine.

I noticed in the error message 64bit spectre is being linked. Is that the reason for the errors I got?  We do have 32bit spectre available, is there any thing I need to set up to have either 32 or 64bit spectre works if I have to run it in RHEL 5.8 environment?

thanks,

Kev

    Hi Andrew,


    Thanks for the reply.

    I ran "echo $CDS_AUTO_64BIT" and it returns "CDS_AUTO_64BIT: undefined variable", I looked at Setup->Environment, Run with 64 bit binary is not checked.

    I'm using RHEL5,  64bit OS.  You're right, when I ran, "UNIX$ rpm -q -f /usr/lib64/libreadline.so.5", I got "readline-5.1-3.el5". (when I ran  UNIX$ rpm -q readline, I got  "readline-5.1-3.el5" twice) I was concerned about installing the package because this issue happens only to me, not other co-workers who's running from the same server (unless they all changed some settings which I doubt), also CAD ppl could get mad in case I messed up things..

    I nevertheless downloaded one from internet and ran it "rpm -ivh readline-5.1-3.el5.x86_64.rpm", but got warning of "readline-5.1-3.el5.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 82fd17b2" and error of "can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/__db.000"

    Could it be that some settings/env var got accidentally changed only on my side? I'm just guessing.

    thanks,

    Kevin
