Environment setting for Cadence IC610

[iamlearning]

Hi!
I am trying to install cadence IC610 in Scientific Linux 5. I installed it successfully through Installscape and also installed the Open Access, configured as well after the installation.
First two lines of my license file are:
SERVER SERVER.VLSI-LAB ANY 27000
DAEMON cdslmd /home/VLSI/cadence/tools/bin/cdslmd
Now, I am trying to set up the environment. To do it, I copied the .cdsinit and the .cshrc files in my home directory and appended the following lines to the .cshrc file:

export CDS_ROOT = /home/VLSI/cadence
export CDS_INSTALL_PATH=$CDS_ROOT/tools/dfII/

export CDS_LIC_FILE=27000@SERVER.VLSI-LAB

export LM_LICENSE_FILE=$CDS_ROOT/share/license/license.dat
export PATH=$PATH:$CDS_ROOT/tools/bin:$CDS_INSTALL_PATH/bin:$CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin
export LANG=C
export CDS_Netlisting_Mode=Analog
alias lmli= '/home/VLSI/cadence/tools/bin/lmgrd-c/home/VLSI/cadence/share/license/license.dat'

But, the problem is, my terminal window identifies the 'export' as unknown commands, because I am using C-shell. Could anyone please suggest me what commands can I use instead of them? I am confused about where to use setenv, where set path and whether shall I need to change alias lmli.

Anyone kindly put some light to clarify the issue.
Thank you ...

You could either change to the Bourne-shell (/bin/bash), which understands these commands, or - for csh

• change export to setenv and remove the = (equal) sign
• for the PATH, use set instead of export and remove the = (equal) sign
• for the alias, just remove the = (equal) sign

HTH! erikl

Thank you, Erikl for your reply.
In fact, I found some experienced people suggesting to use csh rather than bin/bash. So, I was a little bit reluctant to go for bsh. However, I shall append the following lines to my .cshrc file leaving my license.dat untouched:

setenv CDS_ROOT /home/VLSI/cadence
setenv CDS_INSTALL_PATH $CDS_ROOT/tools/dfII/

setenv CDS_LIC_FILE 27000(at)SERVER.VLSI-LAB

setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE $CDS_ROOT/share/license/license.dat
set PATH $PATH:$CDS_ROOT/tools/bin:$CDS_INSTALL_PATH/bin:$CDS_ROOT/tools/spectre/bin
setenv LANG C
setenv CDS_Netlisting_Mode Analog
alias lmli '/home/VLSI/cadence/tools/bin/lmgrd-c/home/VLSI/cadence/share/license/license.dat'

I shall express my experience as soon as it is updated.
Thanks a lot ...
