Unable to run Spectre181 on Ubuntu16.04 -- GCC Version mismatch

VLSI lab IITB

Here is the output log (spoectre.out) when I try to run a transient simulation from ADE(L) in virtuoso. I initially wrote a d_ flip flop and applied a clock to the symbol of the d_flip_flop. Why do I get the error ?

    First of all, posting this in the Feedback, Suggestions and Questions forum doesn't make much sense - that's for questions about the forum infrastructure itself, not for technical questions. It went into moderation because of the repeated text in the post above (the system automatically assumed it was spam as a result). Anyway, I fixed that and moved it into the correct forum.

    SPECTRE18.1 is supported on Ubuntu, but nominally Ubuntu 14 not 16. I'm not sure whether that's the root cause, but the error message is a bit strange because it suggests that the installation is not complete. Normally we use the gcc that comes with the SPECTRE release, and that's less dependent upon the OS.

    I think you may be best contacting customer support so that we can make best efforts to help on this despite you using an unsupported OS.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
