I can run VCS 6.x and VCS 7.x on the platform for REDHAT 8.0 , but failed on the platform of REDHAT linux advanced server 3.0. Are there anything I don't pick up?

I am running on RHEL AS 3. I can run most of the new eda tools on it. But I can't run the VCS7.0.1 on it.

Added after 9 minutes:

I have found the reason why I can't run VCS properly. The library for the AS was damaged. After I reinstalled it , I can run properly.

this "undefined reference to ctype_b" error has already bin there since RH9. i heard that it is due to the glibc version. if u have a glibc-2.2.xx, (as in RH8, RH7.3), it works fine but from RH9 to Fedora core to RHEL the glibc-2.3.x has a problem. heard ppl mentioned of installing the compat-libstdc patch can work, but i've try on it and it doesn't. i am looking for a soln too.

do you need to install any particular patch as i'm still getting the following messages

undefined reference to __ctype_toupper
undefined reference to __ctype_tolower

apparently it is the virsim library that is complaining abt that.

i found the problem why VCS7.2 can't run on linux with glibc-2.3.x with the undefined reference error already.

i'm not using RHEL3.0, instead using whitebox enterprise linux 3.0 (developed from the source of RHEL3.0). you have to place a file /etc/redhat-release with the content

Red Hat Enterprise Linux .S release 3

This is what i figure out after going through the vcs wrapper. Apparently VCS check for such a file and if its there, it will use some lib file that overcome the undefined reference error.

i've got a feeling that for those using RH9, Fedora 1,2,3 maybe you could try creating the /etc/redhat-release file with the mentioned content and see if it works.
