Virtuoso command not found

VoTuanMinh

Dear,

I am sorry if this error is already asked somewhere.

I have installed the Spectre211 and IC618 using the InstallScape on Centos 7.9 (shown in the figure).

However, when I try to run virtuoso command, the error of "virtuoso command not found" appears.

Could anyone please help me with this error?

I am not so familiar with the Linux OS, so please forgive me for such simple question.

Thank you.

Minh

    Hi Andrew,

    I have started the license server using the command below and I checked the status and it showed me the license server is running. Below is the screenshot of its log. Do you think there is a problem with it? I am not sure about FlexNet not being installed. From the photo attached do you think I am missing anything?


    "$lmgrd_Path"/lmgrd -c "$Cadence_License_Path"/Cadence_License_File.dat -l $Cadence_License_Path/daemon.log &

    We have tried as your instruction, however, we got the same error

    The trouble is that your $PATH is set incorrectly. You should not include <instDir>/tools/dfII/bin/64bit in the path. That will bypass the wrapper script that adds the search path for all the shared libraries. You should include <instDir>/tools/dfII/bin and <instDir>/tools/bin and not the "64bit" extension. The wrappers take care of that for you.

    If that's the complete log file, then something is wrong because it doesn't list any license features. I would strongly suggest you contact customer support because it's really hard to diagnose a problem based on a screenshot of part of a log file!

    You really should do this via customer support. Debugging this via the forums is not terribly efficient...

    This could then have been solved 12 days ago...

    Assuming that if you do:

    ls -l $CDSHOME/tools/lib/64bit/libap_sh.so

    the file exists (it should in the version you're using), then the only thing I can think of is that maybe you're running on some unsupported OS. What do you get from:

    /bin/lsb_release -a

    Can you also try running:

    $CDSHOME/bin/checkSysConf IC6.1.8

    $CDSHOME/tools/bin/checkSysConf IC6.1.8

    (the path was different in an older version that you're using). Please also don't post screenshots of the output as (a) they're not complete and (b) they aren't searchable or copy-pastable.

    I solved the problem by reinstalling everything. Now Virtuoso is starting very slowly and there is the following message : *Error* Could not connect with cdsMsgServer for session virtuoso11729 on host
