How to make ADE XL start a simulation

Spirito
Spirito over 16 years ago

Recently I moved to work with IC 6.1.3 , where the monte carlo was moved to ADE XL.

I am able to start the ADE XL and set up everything , but when I try to run monte carlo (or even a single sweep)  I get error message 

ADEXL-1921 (see Attachment. Are there new environment variables I forgot ?

    Hi Jimito13,

    In general you should contact whoever manages your licenses - they should be able to give you the hostid of the  license server. If you're at a university, you either need to go through your university program (e.g. Europractice in Europe, or via your professor elsewhere (I think)) to get support.

    I'll paste the actual solution text here though. BTW , I don't think this problem will occur in IC614, because "nograph" mode doesn't use Xndx any more but a different approach. Here it is:

    The problem is caused by the libgdbm shared library being missing. This would normally
    be in /usr/lib (or sometimes /usr/lib64).
     
    On a functioning machine, this is at:
     
    ldd /my/install/IC613/tools/dfII/bin/Xndx
            linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
            libgdbm.so.2 => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2 (0xf7ff6000)
            libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00bd4000)
            libelf.so.1 => /usr/lib/libelf.so.1 (0xf7fe1000)
            libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00a79000)
            /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00a5c000)
     
    And it is contained within this RPM package:
     
    > rpm -q -f /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.2
    gdbm-1.8.0-26.2.1
     
    The version number may vary, depending on your OS version.
     
    This package must be installed for "nograph" modes to work, as it is required by the
    Xndx "null" X server.
