Failed to open the GUI of Cadence Abstract Generator

Hongming Lyu
Hongming Lyu over 2 years ago

 When I started the Cadence Abstract Generator by typing `abstract` or `abstract &` in the terminal shell, the terminal failed to start graphic user interface.

Can you give some suggestions over this case? Or provide reference manual and user guide so that I can finish my project by only using SKILL script.

the feedback of the terminal shell looks like below

$ abstract
License checked out successfully...
Virtuoso Framework License (111) was checked out successfully. Total checkout time was 0.01s.

$ abstract &

[xinyue.gu@bicml TEMPLATE]$ License checked out successfully...

    Hello Hongming Lyu,

    I have exactly the same message as you but I've got the gui opened.

    Are you sure you setenv DISPLAY is correct ?

    Have tried to run another to run another GUI like nedit for example ?

    Thanks,

    Alex
