How to correctly run specman with ncsim ?

Hello,

I started to experiment with VHDL+Specman. I wrote some code and now I want to simulate VHDL and E together. I use following command to run the simulation:

specview ncsim -gui -cdslib /proj/specman_first_xortest/cds.lib -logfile ncsim.log -errormax 15 -status worklib.tb_xortest:tb

But I am getting following messages:

*Novas* Loading libsscore_ius121.so
*Novas* libsscore_ius121.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
*Novas* Cannot load libsscore_ius121.so from following LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Failed to register epi test phase change update callback.
Failed to register epi unit tree update callback.

ncsim>
ncsim> source /cad/cds/incisiv/incisiv12.20.011/tools/inca/files/ncsimrc

What is going wrong and what can I do to correctly run the simulation ?

    Hi,

    It looks like you have some trouble with your integration of Novas. Make sure that the mentioned .so file is available, and also on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You can also have a look in the IES installation under <IES-install>/specman/examples/Waveform/Verdi. There is a demo on how to run IES+SN+Verdi. If you still can't progress, please file a support ticket via support.cadence.com

    Regards,
