You can use $echo $PATH to view your path environment variable.If your path is too long.then you can modify your .cshrc.cds5033.In this line"set path =( $CDS_HOME/tools/bin $path)",set like the following:set path ==( $CDS_HOME/tools/bin).only the first $path line!

If you can not modify by yourself,add my MSN.

edit your PATH, make sure it's not too long.

BTW: this warning message dosent affect using of cadence

Re: question about solaris 8

two options

i) create a soft link to the cshrc file at your current working directory, do "source cshrc_filelink"

ii) change directory to the CADENCE directory and do the "source" there

any OS you use, path limitation is always there

Long Path Tool helped me in that situation, you can check it on Path Too Long | Filename too long | Filename is too long | Path too long utility

Re: How to solve idiculously long path truncated in Solaris 8

You can try Long Path Tool. It deletes/unlocks, copies/renames path too long files/folders.

Long Path Tool can simplify and probably end your problems in unlocking, managing and renaming files that appear to have a long filename.

Since in some instances, you may have experienced problems accessing, managing and even renaming files that have more than 255 characters, this utility has been made to answer this particular scenario. If you have also encountered problems like error messages that tell you that the path too long, too long path, destination path too long or cannot delete file then this program is definitely for you.

This will totally take place of Windows Explorer, Far Manager or other file managing utilities since this is maybe used in any type of Operating System even the earliest Windows 95 version.


You can get it from Long Path Tool
