Specman 5.0.3 installation problem

archive
archive over 17 years ago

Hi, all

I'm trying to install Specman 5.0.3 in my department. The problem I've got here seems to be related to the VRST_HOME environment variable.

The install guide states that we can leave the setting VRST_HOME after the installation completes if Specman is to be installed to a new directory. All we need is a fresh installation,  at first I didn't set it. But the install script refused to work.

[charlestown] ./sn_5.0.3_install.sh -32bit
./sn_5.0.3_install.sh: line 6751: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
./sn_5.0.3_install.sh: line 6872: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I got the same error when pointing VRST_HOME to the new directory.

[charlestown]xqu: VRST_HOME=../sn ./sn_5.0.3_install.sh -32bit
./sn_5.0.3_install.sh: line 6751: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``'
./sn_5.0.3_install.sh: line 6872: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Is there anything I've missed?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Freddie

    Hi Freddie.

    My guess is that you've got a corrupted install file, or that the shell type is wrong (e.g. you're running Korn-shell when the install script expects to be run under Bash). I never set any environment variables before installing Specman.
    What OS and shell are you using?

    Newer versions of Specman can be installed with InstallScape, the standard Cadence installation tool, which should make life easier. I assume you're installing 5.0.3 for a specific reason, given that there are much newer and better versions available :-)
