QRC menu does not load in Virtuoso Layout Window.
In CIW, whenever we try to access the QRC menu in Virtuoso Layout, we get the message:
*WARNING* QRC_HOME environmental variable is set but UI can't locate correct QRC installation. In order to run UI in QRC compatibility mode you need to have QRC executables in your $PATH and QRC version should be 8.1 or greater. Check your QRC installation and environmental settings.
However, I am pretty sure I followed all installation steps properly.
There is a thread here advising about the OA_HOME environment variable which should not be set in later releases. But whenever I unset it, or leave it blank, virtuoso does not start and in the shell I get:
No proper OA2.2 installation found. Fix the errors reported by cdsGetOABinPath.virtuoso: INFO: Note that OpenAccess (OA) requires running the Configure phase.virtuoso: See the "OpenAccess Installation and Configuration Guide" beforevirtuoso: you complete the configuration step. This manual is included withvirtuoso: the Cadence product documentation.
Both problems happen running under Fedora 24 and in RedHat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.3 (Maipo).
My cadence tools are:
IC 6.17.707
OA oa_v22.50.054
ASSURA 04.15.108-617
PVE 11.12.207
To run it in fedora, I am setting OA_UNSUPPORTED_PLAT linux_rhel50_gcc48x. For Red Hat, not.
I just installed EXT 16.11.000 and was able to put it to work in Fedora 24 but not in RedHat.
In RedHat the QRC menu still does not load.
