Locked files in Encounter Library Characterizer

mbhealy

Hi All,

I am trying to use Library Characterizer and I am getting a very basic error that doesn't make any sense to me.

I start elc and run the command:
db_open test_run

Then I try to run
db_prepare -f

and I get the following error:
[ERROR(db_prepare)]Cannot access the design test_run because it is locked by [user] at Sun Oct 11 18:28:12 2009
. Use the 'db_clean -lock all' command to release the lock and try again.

If I run the db_clean line it doesn't help at all. I get the same error. If I delete the lock file: test_run.ipdb/ipdb.tech/lock/IPDB.dblock then elc Segfaults. What could possibly be causing a newly created database to be unaccessible?

Please help!

  • It looks like this problem is related to some kind of configuration or installation error. I don't know what it is yet but for some reason elc won't work on a particular set of machines on our network. Other machines seem to work correctly, so for the time being I will be using those. Hopefully we can get it working on the original machines because they are faster.
