*Error* eval: undefined function - fmKickFM

Noca

Hi,

I'm using IC6.16 and everytime I start virtuoso, I get the following error message:

*Error* eval: undefined function - fmKickFM

How could I solve this error?

Best regards

  • My guess is that it is being called in your .cdsinit file somewhere. It's a Cadence private function that was removed in (I think) IC61 - it was still there in IC5141. There were a whole bunch of functions for interfacing with FrameMaker (Adobe desktop publishing tool) - but Adobe dropped support for Unix platforms (I believe) and the primary reason it was there was to interface with "OpenBook" (which was our old help system - in fact two help systems at least ago). So the function no longer exists, and I can't see any reason why you would need to call it.

    So you should look through the .cdsinit file and any files that are loaded from the .cdsinit file and locate the call to fmKickFM and remove that code.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Thanks, Andrew.

    I found the code in my .cdsinit . When I comment it out, everything just got better. Thanks very much.

    best regards,
