Quantus QRC GUI wont start

magal

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out why QRC GUI wont load.

I'm running IC6.1.6 ISR14, and trying to load QRC15.14 to run with it.

QRC installation path is:

/software/opt/CDS/EXT151/

And upon loading cadence I define im my path, among the rest:

/software/opt/CDS/EXT151/tools/bin:

/software/opt/CDS/EXT151/tools/extraction/bin:

/software/opt/CDS/EXT151/bin:

/software/opt/CDS/EXT151/tools/dfII/bin:

I also define the env variable:

QRC_HOME=/software/opt/CDS/EXT151

However, upon Layout-XL load I see under QRC tab:

"Loading QRC menu"

And when clicking it, the CIW spits:

*Warning* QRC_HOME environmental variable is set but UI can't locate correct QRC installation. In order to run UI in QRC compatibility mode you need to have QRC executables in yout $PATH and QRC should be 8.1. Check your QRC installation and environmantal setting.

I think QRC exec.s are defined OK. Is QRC15.14 too new for IC6.1.6ISR14??

Any help will be appreciated,

Matan

    Hi Matan

    QRC15.14 can work well with IC616-ISR14. Would you please try the following and let us know if it helps?

    a. Create the following cshrc file:

    #!/bin/csh -f

    setenv CDS_AUTO_64BIT ALL
    setenv CDS_LIC_FILE 5280@your-server
    setenv CDS_LIC_ONLY

    setenv CDSHOME /software/opt/CDS/IC616-ISR14
    set cdsPath=($CDSHOME/tools/bin $CDSHOME/tools/dfII/bin)

    setenv QRC_HOME /software/opt/CDS/EXT151
    set qrcPath=($QRC_HOME/bin)

    set linuxPath=(/bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin .)

    set path=($cdsPath $qrcPath $linuxPath)


    b. Source the newly created cshrc file:

    terminal>source ./cshrc

    c. Start Virtuoso and check if QRC menu is now ok



    Best regards
