spectre error (64bit/32bit) on linux

Karev11

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

  • If that environment variable isn't set - you should check the runSimulation script to see if it has -64 specified on the command line for spectre.

    I can't see how it would not find the libreadline.so.5 on the machine if it is present, unless $LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to something strange and is omitting /lib - but then various things might fail in that case. Even then I think the wrapper takes care of it - so that works.

    Probably best if you contact customer support. Guesswork via the forum isn't a particularly effective way of diagnosing the problem! Us being able to look at the setup with you is much more likely to get to the bottom of it.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
