Hi all,

I have installed Cadence and Calibre on new computer. I have an error, this is the CDS.log:

Code:
//  Calibre Skill Interface * (v2012.2_17.11) *

virserver.tcl error: /tools/cadence/mentor/calibre12217/ixl_cal_2012.2_17.11/pkgs/icv_comp/bin/tclsh: line 65: tools/cadence/mentor/calibre12217/ixl_cal_2012.2_17.11/pkgs/icv_comp/8.4/bin/tclsh: cannot execute binary file

virserver.tcl error: /tools/cadence/mentor/calibre12217/ixl_cal_2012.2_17.11/pkgs/icv_comp/bin/tclsh: line 65: tools/cadence/mentor/calibre12217/ixl_cal_2012.2_17.11/pkgs/icv_comp/8.4/bin/tclsh: Success

What is the problem? why the same code has different result: cannot execute binary file and Success??

When I try to run Calibre DRC, I have error:


Please help me to fix this problem. Thank you so much.

    Calibre is a Mentor Graphics product, not a Cadence Design Systems product. You might want to ask them rather than ask this on a Cadence forum. Maybe you've installed the wrong thing, or are not meeting their platform requirements. Certainly if the "virserver.tcl" script is not running, you'll get the second error, because the virserver.tcl is the mechanism they use to communicate between Virtuoso and RVE.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
