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

    It is good to know that using a simplified cshrc file has helped to resolve the problem. Here are my comments on your current cshrc file:


    unsetenv HELPDIR
    => Not necessary

    unsetenv RFDE_CDS_VERSION
    => I think this variable might be required for using Agilent's ADS. You need to check with the users of ADS.

    unsetenv CLS_CDSD_COMPATIBILITY_LOCKING
    => Usually not necessary

    unsetenv RDS_CADENCE_VER
    => Not very sure about this

    unsetenv CDSDIR
    => Not necessary

    unsetenv OA_HOME
    => Definintely not necessary. This variable should never be used.

    unsetenv CDSHOME
    => Standard shell variable for Virtuoso

    unsetenv RDS_MGC_VER
    => I think this is for Mentor Graphics software

    unsetenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode
    => From IC616 (or IC615), the default netlisting mode should already be set to "Analog" but I think it is a good idea to keep this.

    unsetenv ASSURAHOME
    => This variable is required for Assura users. Otherwise they will not be able to get the "Assura" menu. In addition to this variable, $ASSURAHOME/bin should also be added to the user path.

    unsetenv RFDE_DBTYPE
    => For ADS. Need to check with ADS users

    unsetenv CDS_LIC_FILE
    => Shell variable for setting of license server. Should be used together with CDS_LIC_ONLY

    unsetenv CDS_LIC_TIMEOUT
    => Only required if there is considerable network delay (e.g. license server is in US but user is outside US)

    virtuoso -64 &
    => There is no need to add "-64" because you have already set CDS_AUTO_64BIT variable


    Best regards
