you have to edit .cdsinit so that it loads the context file from the correct path. when you ran ./kit_install it should have asked you if you want to update all the links in .cdsenv, .cdsinit, cds.lib to match your local installation. you probably need to edit lib.defs and .cdsenv as well. also you need to set environment variables before running virtuoso:

setenv CDS_LOAD_ENV CWDElseHome
setenv SPECTRE_DEFAULTS "-E"
setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode "Analog"
 
You were right ! I checked all the three files you mentioned and found that, the paths are set there like that, which does not match with that of mine. Definitely it needed to be customized.

Thanks a lot. I had no idea about it and must try your suggestions ..

If you received the PDK from MOSIS, in the root directory there might be a file called CMRF9SF_ALL_USERS_MUST_READ.txt. It explains how to configure the PDK. I use IBM 8RF, we have this file written by MOSIS.
 

I received both IBM 8RF and 9RF from MOSIS and started working with the later one. I have just checked both the PDK and got the file CMRF8SF_ALL_USERS_MUST_READ in the PDK of 8RF. But there is no such file for 9RF, so I had no idea about this file, before. Now, I have started reading the file for 8RF and hope it will help me for 9RF, too.

Thank you again for your help.
