Spectre/RF Matlab Toolbox

PietroUser
PietroUser over 6 years ago

I am running mmsim  12.11.203 and Matlab R2013a (8.1.0.604) 64-bit.

When I use the function cds_srr Matlab crashes with the following message:

"This error was detected while a MEX-file was running. If the MEX-file
is not an official MathWorks function, please examine its source code
for errors. Please consult the External Interfaces Guide for information
on debugging MEX-files."

and in the matlab shell:

File voHier.c, Line 98, Function noname *FATAL* Unable to find the location of the cds_root executable.

Any idea about this issue?

 

Thanks in advance,

Pietro

    Hi Pietro,

    This happens if you don't have spectre in your path. You need to ensure that in your UNIX path ($path in csh, $PATH in bash/ksh) you include:

    <SPECTREinstDir>/bin or <SPECTREinstDir>/tools.lnx86/bin

    where <SPECTREinstDir> is the path to wherever your SPECTRE or MMSIM release is. 

    I was able to reproduce the crash if I just have $MATLABPATH set to the right location, but don't have my UNIX path set up correctly.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
