technology file manager

Hi Ganesh,

This is another symptom of having an old ciw.menus file in your search somewhere, similar to my answer to your post: RE: virtuoso export stream option a couple of weeks ago. An older post where I suggested the same answer (exactly the same as this question here): RE: Library Technology Manager

You didn't reply to my last response - so presumably you've not yet fixed the underlying issue with a bad ciw.menus file in your setup. Normally the ciw.menus file would come from the installation; if somebody has copied it and customised it, they need to keep it up to date or write it in a way that loads the central file first and then adjusts the contents.

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

I did as you told in the previous mail.

the result is /appl/LINUX/ICM_MODEM/ic6/menus/ciw.menus.

should i point this to new path or What should Ido?

I opened the fie.the menu commands are related to old version of icfb.

Please tell me how to,update it.

Thanks,

Ganesh Doddipatla.

Hi Ganesh,

The right thing to do is to get the owner of that file to either remove it or update it. As a workaround though, you could create a "menus" directory within the directory you launch virtuoso, and then within that directory place a file called "ciw.menus" with the following contents:

load(prependInstallPath("etc/tools/menus/ciw.menus"))

That should mean that it finds your ciw.menus file first, which then loads the standard installation menus file and bypasses the erroneous one (hopefully this will work anyway, depending on whether the search order has been messed with).

Check the working dir that you're running in by typing:

getWorkingDir()

in the CIW, just in case your environment messes with the working dir when you start virtuoso.
