Cannot find any 32 bits or 64 bits executable version of "spectremdl".

Went

Hello

I am trying to use spectremdl to do simulation. When I type spectremdl in interminal I get "Cannot find any 32 bits or 64 bits executable version of "spectremdl"." when I type "which spectremdl" I get the location of the file "spectremdl" at /opt/Cadence/Incisive14/tools/bin. Is spectremdl installed correctly on my computer?

Thanks

Wen

  • Wen,

    This is because you have the INCISIVE path before the path to SPECTRE/MMSIM. In older INCISIVE releases, spectremdl was accidentally partly shipped in the release (this got fixed during the life of INCISIVE152). Later releases (INCISIVE changed name to XCELIUM) also don't have this problem - and you are using an old release (this is at least 6 years old).

    Also, if you just had the path to <SPECTREinst>/bin before the INCISIVE path, it would work fine.

    Hi Andrew

    Thanks for your reply. Do you mean that I should copy the folder /Incisive14 to <SPECTREinst>/bin ? or I should install INCISIVE again ?

    Hi Wen,

    No, you absolutely should not copy anything from one release to another. 

    I was suggesting that you ensure that <SPECTREinst>/bin is earlier in $PATH (or $path if using csh) than the <INCISIVEinst>/tools/bin - or that you install and use a newer release (such as a recent XCELIUM release) which wouldn't contain this spurious spectremdl executable.

    I'm assuming that your $PATH is in an order such that it finds the INCISIVE flavour of spectremdl rather than the valid version from a SPECTRE release (or MMSIM release if you're stuck with very old versions).

    Andrew.
