just add OA_UNSUPPORTED_PLAT=linux_rhel40_gcc44x in bashrc file in home folder...note-bashrc is hidden file
 

@binnx1

I checked the link https://www.eda.ncsu.edu/wiki/Installation_Instructions but I was not able to install those libraries.
I added the path of these libraries to the cds.lib file but it is showing error : cdb to openaccess conversion is required.
And I dont know whether this is the right way of doing it.
Could you please help me in solving this.

everything seemed to work fine, but when I run ./sfk rep -bylist flexlm.pat -yes -dir . it gives a bunch of skipping warns, like:
warn : empty file: dfII/samples/artist/ahdlLib/swept_sine_src/veriloga/pc.db - skipping
Click to expand...

and when I type virtuoso on terminal it gives me a command not found warn, does anybody know what is wrong?

I am using a Ubuntu 12.04 64 bits btw
 

I was able to fix the preview issue, but now it seems I am having some trouble with the license, I am getting the following message after entering virtuoso -64 on terminal:
*ERROR* (DB-320001): Unable to get the Cadence(R) Design Framework II license feature of "111".

Well, I did it, but I got a bunch of warnings like that:
warn : empty file: dfII/samples/artist/ahdlLib/swept_sine_src/veriloga/pc.db - skipping
Click to expand...
Did you get any of those?
 

Hi guys,
First of all thanks for the comprehensive explanation.
I tried all the steps you mentioned.
1. I did not install MMSIM. would that make any problem with Cadence Virtuoso operation? I don't know what is MMSIM and I just know virtuoso. I tried to download MMSIM from somewhere but I couldn't. I'd appreciate it if somebody gives me a download link for it.
2. When I try ./sfk .... command there are a bunch of warnings and one error. the error is "iota/berror: failed to read+write: sfk - skipping" does anyone have any idea what this is?
3. After I finished all the steps. (I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit on virtualbox with windows 7 as the host) I added that OA_UNSUPPORTED..... extra line to .bashrc as well and opened a new terminal. but when I run virtuoso it says the command is not known.
Does anyone know why this happens? Is it because I didn't install MMSIM or is it because of the error I get from ./sfk rep .... line? or is it something else?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kamran
