calibreview fatal error

CxD7 over 7 years ago

After I use calibre PEX for extraction, and it finishes without errors, I want to import the netlist created into a Cadence schematic with calibreview. However, when I run calibreview, I get a fatal error message, telling me to  consult log file. The logfile contents are below

INFO: cds.lib has been converted to lib.defs /opt/CoE/mentorGraphics/aoi_cal_2017.2_28.22/tmp/32702_result_lib.defs

It seems like there is an issue with 'libddbase_sh.so'? I assume this is a file needed by cadence? The virtuoso version is

virtuoso version 6.1.7-64b

    Not knowing anything about this specific variable (since it's a Mentor product, not a Cadence tool), I would just interpret the previous post as suggesting you should do either:

    # if using csh
    setenv MGC_FDI_OA_VERSION 22.50

    # if using bash/ksh
    export MGC_FDI_OA_VERSION=22.50

    before starting virtuoso.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
