Who use RHEL 4 to install EDA tools? How abot its compatiblity? I want to use it because it can support the newer hardwares.
 

We use RHEL for a year or so and it works fine with all EDA programs that suggest RHEL 3 ok.

THe ones that require RH 7.2 were upgraded to the latest version and then it was ok.

you can use the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL sometimes for compatibility and you need to install the *compat* packages
 

At this point RHEL 3 is the baseline for most EDA too vendors so that has the most compatibility. RHEL 4 and SLES 10 are becoming the standard but still not quite there.
This should go in the Linux section of the board.

But I want to know whether you used RHEL 4 to test all the EDA tools.
 

I've run IC5033 and IC5141 as well as SOC42 on AS4 and it worked fine, atleast for the options I used.

I've seen it working at customers with the latest versions of Synopsys ( DC & Primetime ), Cadence NC-Verilog and Mentor ModelSim and Magma ..... so I think it is ok.

I know they had problems with previous versions of some of these program but
the current versions run ok
