Hello,

So I'm trying to get IC 5.1 and mmsim72.174 to work in a ubunt 10.4 server install.

Some details about the machine are:
Ubuntu Server 10.4 - with ubuntu-desktop package installed
Kernel - 2.6.32-22-server
Architecture - x86_64
CPUs - Dual Xeon E5520's - 64 bit - quad cores

I was given two tar balls from my boss that consisted of already compiled cadence software. One is the IC 5.1 directory and the other is the mmsim72_174 directory.

I set those up at "/opt/eda/cadence/"

Here is what is in my .bashrc that's relevant to the cadence software:
Code: 
CDS_ROOT=/opt/eda/cadence/IC5141_6_141
CDS_INSTALL_PATH=$CDS_ROOT/tools/dfII
export CDS_LIC_FILE=$LIC_SERV:5280 # server name on local network:port
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


I am having a problem when I go to run a command like `icfb` That command produces the following output
Code: 
/opt/eda/cadence/IC5141_6_141/tools/dfII/bin/icfb: line 17: /opt/eda/cadence/IC5141_6_141/tools/bin/cds_root: No such file or directory
Unable to find the Cadence software in your $PATH.
Please fix this and try again.

Here is the output of `echo $PATH`
Code: 
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/eda/cadence/IC5141_6_141/tools/bin:/opt/eda/cadence/IC5141_6_141/tools/dfII/bin:/opt/eda/cadence/IC5141_6_141/tools/spectre/bin:/opt/eda/cadence/IC5141_6_141/tools/bin:/opt/eda/cadence/IC5141_6_141/tools/dfII/bin:/opt/eda/cadence/IC5141_6_141/tools/spectre/bin


I'm a little confused as to what the problem is since it seems like to me all the necessary paths have been added. Could this be a problem that exists when trying to run it in a 64-bit OS? But if that were a problem it seems like it'd get past the point I'm at and have a different error message.

I really appreciate any help anyone has to offer.

Thanks,

Smerky


EDIT - Also, those precompiled binaries work on another ubuntu system we're running. But that system is running a 32-bit version of ubuntu 9.04.
 

Try to see the contents of the /opt/eda/cadence/IC5141_6_141/tools/dfII/bin/icfb at line 17, and the first line of the /opt/eda/cadence/IC5141_6_141/tools/bin/cds_root, It should be a script and the path to the shell or interpreter could be wrong.
