installing cadence
Hi All,
This is based on the topics
I'm just going to write the steps mentioned in other topics to save the space; this is more like a description of how to get things working
1. Get the USR5 and Base CDs and extract them in a directory, say
/tmp/cdsinstall/
2. Set posix compliance by typing "export _POSIX2_VERSION='199209'"
3. Go to CDROM1 in the USR5 extraction and type ./SETUP.SH to run the installation, let the installation directory, for this post, be /usr/local/cdstree
4. If you were not able to start softload to complete the installation just go to
/usr/local/cdstree/install/bin.lnx86 and type ./softload to continue the installation as mentioned in topic after step 9.
5. Adjust your .bashrc ,or .cshrc file, as in the topic
to be
CDS_ROOT=/usr/local/cdstree
CDS_INSTALL_PATH=$CDS_ROOT/tools/dfII/
export CDS_LIC_FILE=$CDS_ROOT/share/license/license.dat
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$CDS_ROOT/tools/lib:$CDS_INSTALL_PATH/lib
export PATH=$PATH:$CDS_ROOT/tools/bin:$CDS_INSTALL_PATH/bin:$CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin
export CDS_Netlisting_Mode=Analog
6. Source your .bashrc file and try to run icfb, just type source .bashrc then icfb &, if things work out then you're clear
, if not continue with the installation, this depends on the libraries you used in your Fedora installation.
7. Most probably you'll get an error for libXp.so.6 or a similar one. To overcome this extract the files attached in this topic and install them using the command 'yum install', i.e. to install library MyLib1.rpm type: yum install MyLib1.rpm.
So, extract this file, yum install all the rpms in it and then yum install libXp and libXp-devel.
8. If you had installed the above correctly, you'll get some font error when trying to run icfb, this is because the xorg-x11-fonts are missing.
The above libraries were missing in my installation, so if you still have others missing then go to /usr/local/cdstress/tools/dfII/bin and type ldd ./icfb.exe to check the missing libraries. You'll find the word "Not Found" beside the names of the missing libraries, you can download those missing libraries separately. Just google the missing library's name and you'll find a link to its RPM download.
9. To install the missing fonts type
yum list available | grep xorg-x11-font
This'll get a list of all the missing xorg-x11-font, install the missing "normal" fonts, there are other non-english fonts, no need for them. Just yum install the missing fonts.
10. If you've done the above step correctly, icfb will run now smoothly
