Hi all, I noticed some issues running Synopsys Synplify (aka Synplicity), in particular with DesignWare, on Ubuntu 10.04 which might also apply to Design Compiler and other Synopsys tools. I had run on Ubuntu 9 before, with success.
I was observing problems connecting to the license manager, when using DesignWare. It turns out that Ubuntu uses dash (/bin/dash) as /bin/sh instead of bash (/bin/bash). As a result, the two communicating processes were not able to communicate because the way that process ids are managed is different between dash and bash.
I fixed by linking sh to bash instead of dash.
