IC 6.1.7 on RHEL8

ddelrio

Hello all,

I was wondering if someone could tell me if Cadence IC 6.1.7 works on a RHEL 8 machine. I have it working on CentOS7, but when i try to launch virtuoso from RHEL8, I get the following error:

/apps/cds/IC/v617/tools/bin/cdsGetOABinPath: line 87: /apps/cds/IC/v617/tools/bin/cds_root: No such file or directory
ERROR: Could not find Cadence installation root for
/apps/cds/IC/v617/tools/bin/cdsGetOABinPath
Make sure that cdsGetOABinPath is part of the Cadence installation.
virtuoso: ERROR: No proper OA2.2 installation found. Fix the errors reported by cdsGetOABinPath.
virtuoso: INFO: Note that OpenAccess (OA) requires running the Configure phase.
virtuoso: See the "OpenAccess Installation and Configuration Guide" before
virtuoso: you complete the configuration step. This manual is included with
virtuoso: the Cadence product documentation.

Is there something wrong with my environment variables, or does it simply not work with RHEL 8? As said, the same Cadence launching script works on CentOS7.

Thank you very much in advance!

    David,

    It's definitely not supported on RHEL8, but of course there may be a way of making it work (but no testing would have been done). I just located an RHEL8 machine and tried running, but I see problems with trying to run the cds_root executable to determine installation paths - it fails (it may be related to the fact that it's a 32-bit executable). So I get the same error as you.

    I then tried running IC6.1.8 ISR21 (which is also not supported on RHEL8), and that I can get to run - although I did have to create a link for a shared library: ln -s /lib64/libdb-5.3.so libdb-4.7.so (in an area in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and then it starts. Not an exhaustive test, but a quick check.

    Andrew
