XmVlog - *F,DIRDEC error

yavuzselim

I'm trying to compile a simple verilog file using xmvlog. I run the following command,

"xmvlog myfile.v"

Then I get the following error,

"xmvlog: *F,DIRDEC: Can't save decompressed versions of compressed files."

I used to use xmvlog with no issues, this error started to come up now. The message is not helpful either. How can I solve this?

I appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

  • Hi,

    The extended help for this error says:

    $ xmhelp xmvlog dirdec
    xmhelp: 19.03-s019: (c) Copyright 1995-2020 Cadence Design Systems, Inc.
    xmvlog/dirdec =
        There is no room/permission to keep the decompressed versions of compressed files. Try cleaning the /tmp directory.

    It looks like Xcelium is using the /tmp directory when it needs to decompress a local file. It may be that, although your working directory has plenty of space, your LSF farm machines may have smaller or full /tmp disks.

    Here is an article that shows how to use an environment variable to direct Xcelium to use a different directory for its uncompressed files.

    I hope this helps.
